Puzzle piece homes: The future of hurricane-proof living

Hi everyone, Meteorologist Michelle Morgan with you.

When a Category 5 hurricane hits, with winds over 157 mph, it can wreak havoc, destroying homes, tearing off roofs, and collapsing walls.

But imagine a home that can withstand 175 mph winds, heavy rain, flooding, and power outages, all while keeping you and your family safe inside.

This is no longer just a dream.

Onx Homes is making this a reality with their groundbreaking technology. Built to be hurricane-resistant, these homes are designed to stand strong in the face of even the most powerful storms.

OnX has already constructed 700 homes in Florida, with 2,500 more on the way. They’ve also expanded to Texas, and now, they’re bringing their cutting-edge, storm-proof homes to Central Florida, starting with Groveland.

And while these homes are built to withstand extreme conditions, it’s also important to consider your backup power during a storm.

Generators can be a lifesaver in the event of a power outage, but safety is key. Always ensure proper ventilation and follow guidelines to avoid carbon monoxide risks.
