So long as the house is not directly impacted by storm surge, it will remain standing unless it is very poorly constructed. Sustained winds in a category 2 hurricane are in the range of 96-110 mph. The walls of most houses will remain standing in winds up to about 150 mph. Storm surge is usually not very severe in a category 2 hurricane, but waterfront properties could still be in danger. The water of the storm surge carries much more force than the wind.

What happen if a hurricane goes back over the water?
If a hurricane travels over land and then goes over water again, what happens depends on the temperature of the water and the winds overhead. If the water is over 78F (26C) and the air in the Stratosphere is moist and not blowing strong, the hurricane will strengthen. Otherwise, it will either remain the same or weaken. If it is north of 40 degrees, it will likely speed up and become extra tropical.
