Where are you building?  There are some canned plans for "stilt" homes that
could work very well:  you enclose the hangar portion with "blow out" panels
that are designed to go at 80 mph or so, and the house sits on large
concrete piers that are buttressed to withstand the side loads.  Then your
plan is to hop in the plane and LEAVE before the big winds hit.  The house
stays intact above the flood waters, and once the runway is cleaned up you
return to retrieve your shop out of the mangroves/sawgrass/palmettos/pines.

Thanks Tom. We should probably take this of list. Could you please contact me at
finnlassen@netzero.net.
I have a lot at Shady Bend (Gilchrist county) - place where Tracy lives.
It's basically a feasibility study: how wide a hangar, steel or concrete/wood.
