Strapping down the house - interesting! She said each strap, I think there were 6, holds about 5400 lbs of force. Assuming they learned how much lift force there is in a Cat 4-5 hurricane, probably 30,000 lbs of lift prevention would be enough.
As long as you are in an area that cannot flood or get hit by a storm surge.
I guess if you want to live there, it makes sense to try and do something, as insurance companies wont even insure a home from a hurricane. I cant imagine living with the stress of knowing you might have to rebuild your entire home, at your cost, once, twice or even 4 or 5 times in a lifetime.
