00:10to keeping his Orlando home intact through Hurricane Milton.

00:14Preparing my house for the hurricane.

00:15Right now, as you can see, the hooks on the floor,

00:19they're eight feet deep of cement.

00:20They have rods in between,

00:22and it's to hold the friction of the roof from lifting.

00:24His daughter explains the unique idea was born from experience.

00:29More than two decades ago,

00:31while Pedro and his family lived in Puerto Rico.

00:34We had a hurricane that we went through,

00:35and the back of our roof lifted a little bit.

00:39It was aluminum.

00:42Now, roughly $2,000 in for the cement, anchors,

00:47and made-to-order straps from Idaho

00:48that cover the fronts, back, and sides of the home.

00:51They hold about 5,400 pounds of weight and wind,

00:55so, yeah, we're giving it a test.
