Hurricane Proof Home Standards

The International Code Council has setup a new standard for building homes that are more "resistant" to hurricanes. These homes should withstand winds of up to 150 mph and the codes will apply to homes located in the East and Gulf Coasts, coastal Alaska and the Columbia River Gorge in Washington and Oregon.

I have some friends moving to Florida soon. I'll have to send them a link to this post. Along the same lines, one of my friends in Georgia told me about a gutter cover they use that's built to hold up in hurricane weather. Apparently it's helped them avoid flooding during major storms.

Thanks for sharing the Gutter Helmet. We've added it to our most recent post about gutters.
