I bought a concrete block courtyard villa, with a roof that was inspected by my insurance company's recommended inspector prior to closing to ensure that it meets the hurricane codes. It does (and it was built twenty years ago by The Villages). We went through Irma's 90+ MPH winds with no damage to the house or roof, so I'm not worried much at all. People near storm surge areas and who live in old houses (or worse, mobile homes) should worry. I don't pay any attention to the Al Roker's of the world - they seem to take too much pleasure in their gloom and doom.
