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.

I lived in South Florida when Andrew hit. We were 60 miles from the eye of the storm. We had some palm fronds down in our neighborhood. It was after Andrew, I believe, that building codes were improved.
