The current Florida standards weren't around when most of that shite was built.
Of course nothing can stop a palm tree in saturated earth from tipping over and going through a building. From what I've seen off of Orlando TV, that was the cause of most destruction to structures. Even Daytona got hammered on the backend with wind shattered windows at cheaply built strip malls. A building is only a strong as it's weakest component.
