Living here, I will tell you that the insistence on building houses in a neo-colonial style in tornado alley, hurricane prone areas, or in a middle of a yearly flood plane, baffles me. We should have completely different architectural styles adpated to withstand the elements at this point. You know, what housing is supposed to be for in the first place? /rant
As always it comes down to $$$.
I live in Florida, our building codes didn't tighten up until hurricanes cost everyone everything, and now Miami Dade in particular has some of the strictest building code in the US.
Well, that's at least some improvement. Still, I hate that situation for you guys - nobody should have their life swept away like that.
