Hi Cliff, it's nice to have you here! I think the FL state thread will be your best bet for hurricane-resistant building advice (use the link Pork Pie Ken has given you for finding your state thread).

Being a former Floridian, I understand your concerns and wish you all the best with your project. Good luck to you!

Hi fellow Floridian. No such thing as Hurricane Proof, unless you build it under ground. But watch out for flood water.

Although there are measures to build it strong as possible. But even a cinder block home can be cut in half by a falling tree.
Hurricane clips, straps, galvanized screws. Don't build near any "Water Oaks" (hollow trees).
Remember during mandatory evacuations, shelters don't let you bring your livestock with you. So build as strong as possible.
