Default Is the reason concrete is preferred in fl...

because of hurricanes, tornadoes or is it cooler in the summer? In MO we have basements for safety in case of tornadoes, plus it adds double the space.

Are the blocks/stucco able to stand up to high wind speeds much better than "stick built" or is it just the style you prefer?

I am a chicken about tornadoes, so I know the basement is the ONLY thing I will miss.
