funny that us-american are not used to solid houses. where I live we are not building this card board timber-frame stuff. we are used to houses build with heavy bricks. good for room climate and withstands all winds, no matter how fast they are.

Poor guy probably just wanted to hunker down by himself and enjoy his house during the hurricane, but here comes the news crew wanting to camp out with him.

@erik4727 its not that expensive, especially if he is a retired architect/engineer.

The formwork is the expensive part but concrete is cheap.

@spideys2 like Jack Fresco says" the problem is not the existance of resources, the problem is the access to the resources. If homes didnt have a price tag, everybody should be able to survive a hurricane in their homes.
