Would anyone care to comment on the pros and cons of the latter?
Thanks

We lived in a neighborhood that was devastated by the tornado a couple years ago. My observationis that the CBS homes fared much better. The vinyl sided homes had tremendous damage, and many had to be completely rebuilt. The vinyl siding itself peeled off like wallpaper from the force of the winds. I'm glad golf2140 was lucky and had minimal damage, but I expect that was the exception not the norm. We purchased our CBS home with hurricanes in mind, and after the tornado, I was really glad we had made that decision.
