Being from the north, I've heard & believe that block construction is better than frame for withstanding hurricanes. Your opinions? Thanks!
We rented a frame courtyard villa before purchasing a block/stucco CYV. We definitely heard more outside noise in the frame villa than in the block one we bought. Was it because the frame one was older, had different windows or maybe was closer together? Not sure, but there is a difference.
