Default 2002 South Florida
We lived in south Florida in 2002 during hurricane Andrew. South of Miami ALL of the wood
frame homes disappeared. All that was left was a concrete slab. Many of the block homes were gone as well, but their survival rate was much better. This was an extreme test, but I would NOT live in a wood framed house in Florida after seeing that. It was an unbelievable sight!
