No, concrete designed to withstand hurricans beats wood that wasn't so
designed. The old wood sailing ships took a lot more beating on a
daily basis than is dished out by a hurricane. And they held up

Sorry, I don't get paid to educate you. Do a Google search and look at
the psi that say 150 MPH wind generates than then figure out what
pressure is generated from smacking into water at 20-25 MPH.
