Josh Morgerman, Stormchaser and Building a Better House

Also known as “iCyclone” or “Hurricane Man,” Josh Morgerman has braved numerous hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones around the world in the interest of science – in fact, he holds the world record for being inside the most hurricanes on the ground – 84 to date and counting. The Harvard-educated television personality also built a special, hurricane-resistant home in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi – an especially hurricane-prone place that was devastated by Katrina. According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, nine out of the 10 years with the highest number of natural disasters have occurred in the last decade. Since 1980, there have been 403 natural disasters that have caused over $2.9 trillion in damage, and in 2024 alone there were 27 events that hit that threshold including tropical cyclones or hurricanes, severe storms, major flooding, droughts, wildfires, and winter storms. There has never been a greater need to build climate resilient homes. As the world convenes in Orlando for the annual International Builders Show – the largest annual light construction trade show in the world – renowned storm chaser Josh Morgerman is showcasing the benefits of building climate resilient, durable homes.
