Hudspeth said they hired a contractor to build a structure that could withstand a Category 5 hurricane and watched over the process to assure it was done right.

The couple did evacuate before the storm and planned to return on Thursday to survey the damage.

Wow, that's impressive!

Please tell me why people don't build with brick and mortar. It seems to me illogical to erect wooden/clapboard structures in hurricane prone areas. I don't understand it.
