Being from the north, I've heard & believe that block construction is better than frame for withstanding hurricanes. Your opinions? Thanks!

Actually, wood frame home are 6 times stronger than block. It takes 6 times the wind strength to break a 2X4 as per a cinder block. But the siding they put on the frame homes will rip off. Cedar siding on a frame home is the best.
