Being from the north, I've heard & believe that block construction is better than frame for withstanding hurricanes. Your opinions? Thanks!
Google up “tornado in the villages” and look closely at the photos of the houses. We were here visiting a few days after the storm and saw it ourselves. The block homes were tunnels with everything blown out .you can see the damage done to the frame houses. Not much difference. Catastrophic damage to both with 150 mph winds
