Re: Huricane Season 2021

Seems to not have been a very damaging year but our homes usually are not going to be reeplaced fue to the collasping insurance industry in those states which see the most.

Hurricane-proof homes made from Lego-like bricks launch new era of housing: ‘It will outlast any building system today’

A Miami-based company has developed a new type of construction that it says is 23 times stronger than concrete, protecting against intensifying hurricanes and other extreme weather events.

Renco USA uses a proprietary combination of recycled glass fibers, recycled plastic, resin, and stone to create Lego brick-like blocks that are then used to “design and build mineral composite fiber reinforced structures.”

The company claims that this construction style is faster than traditional building methods and much stronger than concrete, with the ability to withstand the force of a Category 5 hurricane.
