Default Re: Block vs Stick Construction

We bought a block and stucco home because we thought it would be more safe during hurricanes. After living thru the tornado last year, having a block home was the best decision we made. The vinyl sided homes crumpled like matchsticks. The vinyl peeled off like wallpaper. From what we observed, the block homes didn't sustain anywhere near the damage that the vinyl ones did. We also get a discount on our homeowners insurance for having a block home.
