Do you live The Villages? South of 441/27?
Go into your garage and look at your garage door. See all that metal reinforcement.
That’s part of the building code to protect you and your house from strong winds. That door is not going anywhere.
Also, roof rafters are designed to withstand hurricane winds.
Building codes were updated a dozen or so years ago after a pair of hurricanes (Michael?) tore through Florida and did a lot of damage.
