most of the frame homes held up better then the concrete block on other side of wall , I lost my roof and some windows and the floor was ruined but I could live in it the block homes sustained more damages . The insurance guy told me that block homes are better in hurricane but frame hold up better in tornado he said the block homes are so tight that the pressure builds up into an explosion ,or something like that
