Wind comes steady across this low flat ground by the water, and it pushes at caps all year. Soft soil on the plain makes for strong shaking in a big quake. South Coast burn alerts do not reach this county at all.
The Houses
On Port Hueneme roofs we meet modest postwar houses, apartment buildings, and condo complexes along the beach. Each chimney gets its cap, crown and flue looked at on the first visit.
