    Our concrete houses might not be designed for hurricanes, but they would still fare way better than a house entirely build from stud walls.

    You only think that because you have no experience with them. Hurricanes demolish concrete and brick buildings just the same as wood, and floods don’t care what the material is.

      Hmm, who to believe on this subject. You, or the constructional engineer that travelled on both sides of the pond. Tough call ;)
