When Andrew hit Homestead, FL back in '92 many of the least damaged
homes were those built by Habitat for Humanity. They found out that
the volunteers, not knowing what they were doing, drove a lot more
nails in each joint than a normal contractor would use. Unintentional
hurricane proofing.

Are you sure?! I lived in Dade County (Homestead/Redlands/Kendall)
before Andrew. I had already moved north in '86. I just don't recall
habitat homes in the areas. The better homes in Homestead were built
in the '50s or '60s.
