Yeah ... it's kinda like living in a Transformer. Sometimes we just have it walk around in circles so it stays sunny on the same side all the time.

Seriously though, probably 80% of the houses here are some kind of 'stilt-style' construction so a lot of the houses do look like they're standing on legs. Sometimes when tourists have never seen them before we tell them that we only raise them off the ground like this during hurricane season, and the rest of the year we crank them back down to ground level.
