CORTEZ, Fla.— William Fulford ’s home in a new development here didn’t lose power when Hurricane Idalia struck Florida’s Gulf Coast in August, leading to many outages in the area.
It also escaped with no damage or water intrusion.
The trick to its survival: The $1.3 million home built last year to be energy efficient is also great at withstanding major storms.
