ANDREW ANNIVERSARY-PKG

Take nats of file footage

Hurricane Andrew didn't just change south florida's landscape.

The storm left an undeniable mark in the construction world.

New homes must be built to much stronger standards.

The updated codes don't help those living in older propeties.

Koes, 1003 "it's 32,33 years old. It was obviously built to the code then. It doesn't met it now I'm sure."

The koes -- tell us some hurricane preparations like getting gas are within they're control.

They dont worry about how strong their roof is -- since they have a simple plan.

Judy and Carol Koe, Live in Cape Coral

0611 "if issac becomes a hurricane, we'll evacuate."

Steve campion, reporter "since hurricane andrew, the way builders construct roofs has radically changed. In this case, the roof is tied to steel rods which run down these walls and into the homes foundation."

Joseph Francioni, CCCIA board member

5442 "you have individual straps for each individual piece into the trestle."

Homebuilder joe Francioni explains -- current code -- means this cape coral house must withstand 130mph winds and gusts up to 160 Mphs.

Francioni, CCCIA board member

5329 "the codes have just been updated again this year. Every two years, they go through a supplemental update. They take into effect where the structures are even located for the winds they must protect against."

In this video from the international hurricane research center -- you can see the difference in today's roofs compared to those before.

Judy and Carol Koe, Live in Cape Coral

1024 "I guess it's as good as its going to be but obviously if it blew down. We'd have to build it to code."
