Weston Lowers Water Pressure City-Wide

News on the Weston website is that the water pressure is now cut back in that city. This only days after the mandatory water restrictions were in place, that left homeowners only four hours, predawn, to wash their cars or water their lawns.

But the city still looks fresh and lovely.

Check out our Expert Realty reporter on-site talking to a Weston resident from her home in Savanna Preserve about how they're keeping it green!

Home Improvement of the Hurricane Kind

Inventors are getting better and better at helping homeowners protect their homes against hurricanes.

Today we took a look at University of Florida's "Hurricane House" in Davie.

Please check out our on-site report on Hurricane House below.

This is one of four facilities, soon to be six, that showcases and demonstrates products that help hurricane-proof your home. The house itself can withstand 140 mph winds and contains a steel "safe room" to protect you against tornadoes in Central Florida.

Each and every product inside this hurricane house has the Miami-Dade County seal of approval or NOA (Notice of Acceptance) which means it has been tested to withstand up to a "CAT 5" hurricane.

You can tour the Hurricane House for free, like we did and learn more about Storm Shield, Armor Screen and new construction methods to hurricane-proof your home.

It'll make you think twice about home improvement.
