Hurricane Ian ripped through Florida, destroying thousands of homes and racking up tens of billions of dollars in damages.
Fort Myers and the surrounding area were hit extra hard-many structures in the area were completely leveled. But sitting just 24 miles northeast is a community known as Babcock Ranch, designed to be hurricane-proof.
After being put to the test, how did the people of Babcock Ranch fair? Watch to find out.

You can't squeeze a 1-hour documentary into news segment. However there are videos on RU-vid that describe how this community was built differently that I've seen long ago. Unlike DR Horton homes with cardboard exterior walls making their company the most profitable builders in the country, instead of 2 x 4 they used larger sized. Screws instead of nails, and hurricane straps holding everything together. It costs a little more upfront, with nothing to fix later. Check out RU-vid for an up-close look, those videos are out there.

Comparison contrast to DR Horton homes being built with genuine cardboard in Arizona: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NyWPdw-3M64.htmlsi=iiTHv3F3ZfMKnGsw

Dude what a hit piece

They are so far from the water. That's where the damage was from storm surge

What happens to the solar panels during those storms?

@joelnichols9055 11 месяцев назад

looks like a good formula for Lahaina.

Here is how DR Horton homes, the most profitable home builder in the country. Genuine cardboard holds the whole thing together to last a lifetime and generate enormous profits.

BS. If the pool cage and landscaping survived, then they didn’t get hit.

@Aryaba 7 дней назад

That is because elevation of the property was part of the planning.

Babcock ranch, 30 miles from the ocean and 30 feet above the ocean. Why didn’t Babcock ranch build on the edge of the ocean on the same ground level as the ocean?

@eagle6702 8 месяцев назад

because that is the wrong place to build.

You win the prize! Also, that bit about the power lines being underground. Makes it sound like FPL was all for it. In reality, FPL has been fighting underground utilities since hurricane 🌀 Andrew in the early nineties. Their logic was "if there's a break or short, it's tough to get to." There's no reason for a break or short if it's underground. Also, no trees growing into the lines putting people's lives at risk.

Only idiots build on the beach, next door to your home.

Florida use to build concrete block house and moved to wood, the insurance companies will force them to go back to cement block houses.

@kevinweber5129 3 дня назад

Southeast FL - Dade and Broward - have been Concrete Block and required shutters/impact windows since after Andrew about 30 years. Developers in the rest of the state fought that and got lower standards. Now whenever Hurricane comes through like Charlie, Michael, Isabelle, Ian the people there are Surprised that they got Such bad construction.

How did they build it? There are lots of videos about this community. Here is one that takes a closer look, no doubt there are many of these videos that go into greater detail. These are not DR Horton Homes as built in Arizona with cardboard exterior walls holding it all together, as seen in Arizona. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R9Hfc7Z-Uww.htmlsi=ityax7wMGyMVP0w4

Hurricanes are good for Florida homes. All the garbage gets washed away and will be replaced with a stronger storm approved product.

Then why do we still have all these Trump flags hanging around?

I’m so glad to live in Oregon where I will have the chance of dying with the people I love around me.

I live in california i cant even imagine going through this year after year having your home completely destroyed come on people move to a less natural disaster prone state like cali, nevada or Arizona already 🤦‍♂️

@floydholder597 9 месяцев назад

As if earthquakes, mudslides, and fires aren't "natural disasters, not to mention the manmade disasters your cities have become with tent cities in many if not most public green spaces and under overpasses and bridges. California politics alone are enough to discourage people from moving there. And where I'm at in Texas is already being swamped by political refugees from Ca.

@eagle6702 8 месяцев назад

you have earthquakes, storms, and wildfires. Mother nature does not distinguish.
