Irma vs post Andrew

I was in LaBelle Fl when Andrew arrived. The aftermath was terrible. Homes that where built before the late sixties early seventies did really well. Those after that where destroyed. I believe the Miami Grand Jury found the building department did not have enough manpower to properly inspect all the construction that took place in the eighties .
that was the beginning of ISO ratings of building departments
My 87 year old parents are still there in their 1958 constructed CBS home.

I wonder how high the wall is??

He is close to the surf

House:;
It's located on a narrow barrier island, flanked by the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, but its walls are 3-feet thick, anchored by steel and concrete beams embedded into coral rock. On Friday, shutters could be seen covering some of the mansion's windows.
