xantha, when I talked to the local homeowners insurance broker last week, he said "modern pool cages usually are so well made they don't get any damage in hurricane" and I LAUGHED because we were the ONLY house who didn't completely lose their pool cage, because our house is an L shape and the pool cage is in the nook of the L (L on west and south, neighbor on east, canal north) , which shielded it from the wind.
