1630 update. Rain still increasing. Wind still steady but gusts are more frequent than earlier. I've already been hearing things snap and bang in the distance but thankfully nothing my way yet.

Last proper hot meal for probably a while. Fresh grilled cheeseburgers, with a side of ground beef, sazon seasoning, salt, pepper, a bag of frozen yellow and red peppers, with onion, a little bit of olive oil, sauted on a charcoal barbecue grill, served over leftover black beans and rice, heated up on the same grill. The pictures don't really do it justice because I am not a photographer and took them with haste, tasted great tho.

Ever heard of a WW2 bunker? Or a flak tower? I bet those a pretty resistant.
Or just move to the midwest, or like nevada or the west coast or wherever.
Hell, im pretty sure properly made masonry can withstand hurricanse, maybe not category 4 and 5, but like, it's got a decent chance at anything below that right? Or, say, soviet style commieblocks.

Houses are built to withstand most of the winds you might conceivably see, but roofs are not because making everything a reinforced concrete bunker is kind of aesthetically a nightmare and we don't live in an eastern bloc country and a roofs natural lifespan is shorter than you are likely to get hit by cat 4-5 hurricane winds in a given location. Trailers are death traps in every sort of weather but I don't think being retarded should be against the law.

Also most of the damage from these storms isn't wind/rain it's storm surge and basically no one can afford to design buildings that can endure suddenly being 10 ft deep in the ocean in a squall. Best you can do is not build anything important in low lands near the ocean. Which is usually true; hotels, restaurants, boardwalks and gift shops are not critical infrastructure.
