Hurricane-proof homes! How did they withstand Hurricane Ian?
Ғылым және технология
Hurricane Ian ripped through Florida, destroying thousands of homes and racking up tens of billions of dollars in damages.
Fort Myers and the surrounding area were hit extra hard-many structures in the area were completely leveled. But sitting just 24 miles northeast is a community known as Babcock Ranch, designed to be hurricane-proof.
After being put to the test, how did the people of Babcock Ranch fair? Watch to find out.

So they didn't explain how the house were built or home much those houses cost to buy once done..
looks like a good formula for Lahaina.
Babcock ranch, 30 miles from the ocean and 30 feet above the ocean. Why didn’t Babcock ranch build on the edge of the ocean on the same ground level as the ocean?

They are so far from the water. That's where the damage was from storm surge

Ok the Dude was in Europe and said yap thats it, or he read the tail of the 3 Piglets and learned something.
I’m so glad to live in Oregon where I will have the chance of dying with the people I love around me.
Hurricanes are good for Florida homes. All the garbage gets washed away and will be replaced with a stronger storm approved product.
BS. If the pool cage and landscaping survived, then they didn’t get hit.
I live in california i cant even imagine going through this year after year having your home completely destroyed come on people move to a less natural disaster prone state like cali, nevada or Arizona already 🤦♂️

As if earthquakes, mudslides, and fires aren't "natural disasters, not to mention the manmade disasters your cities have become with tent cities in many if not most public green spaces and under overpasses and bridges. California politics alone are enough to discourage people from moving there. And where I'm at in Texas is already being swamped by political refugees from Ca.

you have earthquakes, storms, and wildfires. Mother nature does not distinguish.
