The only building for almost {{Convert|40|mi|km|abbr=}} that weathered the storm with minimal damage was Boothville-Venice High School. It was built after Hurricanes Betsy and Camille on concrete stilts {{Convert|14|ft|m|abbr=}} above ground to protect classrooms from storm surge, and it was designed with tall, narrow windows to lessen the risk of broken windows from flying debris.
