Description
Can your home be trusted to keep you and your family safe during a natural disaster emergency?
Four brothers trusted the 'Fortified Home' their oldest brother built, to keep them safe, when a Category 5 hurricane devastated the coastal town they live in and survived to tell the tale.
If you are not certain, your home can keep you and your family safe during a Hurricane, Tornado or Earthquake, then reading this humorous story, packed with illustrations and guidance on what to do, could save your lives.
Robin Lowery lives in a coastal community much like the idyllic village described in this story. Robin has lived in this community for many years and experienced several Tropical Storms and many Hurricanes including a Category 4.
After witnessing the destruction caused by a Cat 4 Hurricane, Robin was determined to build a ‘Certified Gold Fortified Home’ to protect the family from hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes.
In 2024, Robin completed the construction and is already enjoying the benefits of ‘Peace of Mind’ and lower energy and insurance costs. Most of Robin's neighbors have asked if they could seek safety in Robin's fortified home when the next ‘Big Bad Wolf’ Huff’s and Puff’s at their homes. Of course, Robin will provide safety for as many as possible.
Writing this story is Robins way of getting the word out and informing folks about the benefits of ‘Fortified Home Construction’.
