I had loads of discussions this week on why help took so long by us (harbor flat, airport flat, PM a douchebag) and that hopefully the situation in the Bahamas is better (I saw navals ships arriving today), and it is what you say....In reality we cannot prevent all from happening.
As you say...diamondshape roofs are a super feature in Saba on the houses for the roof not to go, but on the otherhand, if a tornado of an eyewall walses over, even that diamond roof will go amongst with its concrete as well.
it is more the question why these superstorms are getting so much stronger and bigger (dude 30 hours)..and what mankind can do to stop this growth
