Being from the north, I've heard & believe that block construction is better than frame for withstanding hurricanes. Your opinions? Thanks!
I would not let fear of hurricanes drive your decision here in TV. The Villages is in a very low hurricane risk zone. There are manufactured homes built in the 60's in TV that are still standing - 50+ years old.
