The trouble is that even if a structure is built to resist the forces
of a 200mph wind, it isn't practical to build one to resist the forces
of wind blown debris. Once you have compromised the wall, which is
acting as a diaphram to resist those wind forces with wind blown
debris, bad things start happening quickly.

Yep. *The house we had in Florida was built in the late 90's and was
designed to withstand 150 mph winds.


The house structure was fine. *But during one of the 3 hurricanes that hit
back in 2002-2003, the double door "French Doorway" opened during a gust.
