I hope these links help in better understanding hurricanes and how to prepare a home for them. When in Florida the local church my family went to used panel steel shutters that were removable, but throughout the community the many different types of shutters were used along with plywood. Whichever is chosen to be used, it is wise to plan for how to protect homes and structures.
