    Do you suppose there might be people in homes built to withstand a hurricane? Can't speak for LA but Florida requires homes to be built to standards to survive a hurricane. Friend of mine has a home next to the gulf where his first floor is built for storm surge. The upper two floors are built for a hurricane. He survived one a few years ago. Didn't evacuate, just rode out the storm. No damage to his house.


    20 foot surge was forecast. That is higher than my house.. Thankfully it wasn't reported to happen. but hurricane proof or not 20' of water will ruin a house
