I went the distance on meeting windstorm current standards and had an independent engineer inspect/generate state reports for my replacement house after Harvey. Tons of tie downs to connect roof to slab, roof sheathing nailed every 6 inches, window flashing nailed every 6 inches. I did wind pressure resistant windows, not impact resistant but am set up with precut plywood.

Windstorm insurance for new house is 2000 dollars cheaper than for the old house because of meeting standards. The nails and tie downs and engineer has easily been paid for in the last 3 years.
