I’ve always wonder why hurricane prone southern coastal states doesn’t have better infrastructure to at least withhold cat3 winds. States like Florida , why they keep building houses out o wood? I’m from originally from Puerto Rico, 100% of the housing development is all concrete, wood houses are practically nonexistent. Concrete houses are not the prettiest but they sure can sustain cat5 winds. I’ve been through two hurricanes one cat2, cat4. No big deal throughout the island, you only have to worry about flooding which btw is the most destructive and deadliest aspect of a hurricane.
My prayers to all the victims of Katrina. ...and for the federal agencies: Get your act together!
