And people are spending millions of dollars to secure their homes so essentially you've got some very wealthy people.
Court building basically bunker style homes.
Homes that could withstand anything from a nuclear bomb to a dirty bomb to get hurt this category five hurricane whole house is essentially a refuge in some case funds yes.
And other cases they're building a normal house and then a bunker below ground that might be 101000 square feet where they -- escape and it isn't -- -- yeah that is gigantic.

I do have a very expensive -- that's all God's will that is very common and now that's become basically standard for everybody to have a generator which is a great idea because we are having you know increased -- -- power outages and storms and things like that that's a pretty common sense thing to have.
Well it is becoming more common by the -- -- generator I think the storm proofing is something that everybody thinking about whether you're in the middle of the country thinking about tornadoes -- on the coast thinking about hurricanes and you know people are really rethinking windows and walls and even if they don't live in South Florida building to Florida hurricane code.
