Re: Another hurricane question
We probably won't. We have storm windows on the outside of our regular windows and I already closed all of those. Honestly, I want to replace all of our windows anyway and this might give me a good excuse

Re: Another hurricane question
We'll be putting it up over our big (read: expensive) windows. Don't want to take the chance of flying debris hitting our french doors.

On the news they said don't do that. It does nothing to help them.

I just heard that on the Today show. They said the problem is when the window breaks the pressure changes significantly in the house and the roof could rip off. So unless you're going to masking tape your roof on...
