Glad to hear you are OK regardless. So in this situation I guess your house isn't safe to live in? Were you able to save all the stuff inside?

Actually my Parents house is OK to live in. Like I said the main damage was the garage, other than that it was mainly just holes in the siding from debris and minor stuff like that. Just broke the siding though--note holes all the way through the house or anything. surprisingly no windows were broken. They didn't live in it for awhile because the power was out though. Everything inside was fine. Obviously not the case with houses right down the street though as you can see from the photos.

And Canyarion, you do occasionally see new houses built from brick but seldom are they all brick. I would assume the main reason is costs. I actually would be doubtful that even a brick house could survive 190 MPH winds but I don't know.
