Just be careful....years ago after the hurricanes hit TONS of folks bought every sort of protection device....many were not worth a dime. I've seen folks pay huge amounts for window protection that attached with VELCRO......REALLY ???

What do you think 100 mph winds do against Velcro?? There will always be scam artists everywhere when they can profit from people's fears.

They also need to be approved by your association, etc. Only use Licensed contractors and DO YOUR RESEARCH. Know that unless EVERY fenestration is protected NO wind mitigation credit can be given.

Life is all about risk tolerance. I see some folks spend crazy amounts on very low probability risks. It's a personal choice.

For me, I'd be more concerned about driving in roundabouts.
