Wilma, Katrina and architecture.

Wilma is raizing hell in Mexico. Debris flying, roofs ripped-off. Katrina hit Lousiana. Deaths, floods, billion-dollar damages...

Here is a crazy idea - environmentally sound architecture! It may be easier and smarter to build hurricane-resistant buildings than the usual 'cardboard', quick-profit boxes. Just imagine that you are building the colonies on, let's say Mars (if it had human-friendly atmosphere). Would you build like you do on Earth??? What would you change in your architectural designs and construction practices if you knew that yearly hurricanes are a given?
