makes you wonder why only two companies are installing?

and why building code in Florida doesn't insist on all new builds being protected during construction
At five per year that’s 15,000 years (growing each year by 600 years for new construction).

While you’re adding requirements for safety features that will cost everyone but benefit few, don’t leave out sprinkler systems, generator backups, and possibly hurricane-proof safe-rooms.
