Sorry but there are disadvantages to concrete roofs My concrete roof verandah was leaking and roof man repaired it but there is still leaking In Jamaica the eye of hurricane Gilbert passed over the island ...slow moving...we were battered for over 12 hours during night Many concrete houses esp in hills were flattened

Happy to see this..but personally I think the Grenadines should have been pre evacuated

So so sad 😢😢😢may God continue to protect all of you in St Vincent n the Grenadines🙏🙏🙏 thinking of my friend Lisa from St Vincent hope she's safe haven't heard from her for over a week 😢😢

The man is right concrete roof but be wise and put wood first, then over lay the wooden roof with concrete, doesnt have to be to heavy. Think is any leak from a concrete roof can be expensive depending where you are from, so build roof witb wood first the over lay it with concrete

In times of uncertainties, I try hard to find reasons to laugh. It's infectious. Others will do it too.

[@ltrotter636]

Having a concrete roof is not going to stop a category five hurricane. I pray all these folks get the support they need immediately.
