We Survived another Hurricane, Thank God. The United States Virgin Islands homes are well built. After September 1989 when we got hit from Hurricane Hugo, we learnt a valuable lesson. That lesson was simply to build stronger. I would say that 98% of the home's on St. Croix are built of cinder blocks lined with steel rebar and then filled with cement, the roofs are then tied in by steel brackets & rapped with the rebars, Screws are now used, in place of nails. The Mainland U.S. need to take notes
