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

We were here on 2/2/2007 a EF-3 Tornado(155 to 165 mph wind) hit The Villages and destroyed about 1300 houses . Our mind was clearly made up BLOCK Construction next house. BTW The Villages did an outstanding job stopping everything they were doing to help the people and The Villages recovered years before other areas.
