The Alexa Villas in Mallory Sq are of cement block construction but most were heavily damaged during the tornado of Feb. 2nd, 2007. The first thing to go were the roofs--not the side walls. That was a fundamental lesson for many of us in TV that there is very little that the builder can do to protect us against a tornado. In Central Florida, hurricanes tend to be far less destructive than along the coast line. That being said, block will stand up to a hurricane better than vinyl siding, which is what I assume you meant.
