The biggest issue is not any rain that will or might seep in but from flying debris smashing the glass,

The solution is to put tape on the glass BEFORE the storm. Tape will not stick once the glass is wet. First of all it makes the glass less likely to break and properly done even if the glass does break the glass will hold together and you will not have the full rain coming into your home.

As of this morning SPARRS the hardware and farm supply place across route 44-you can see it form publix in trsaverse centerm had plenty of duct tape-choice of colors. I would not tape to any painted surface surface because it will likely damage the paint.

PLEASE ALL OF YOU BRING IN ANYTHING AROUND YOUR PROPERTY THAT MIGHT GET BLOWN AWAY.
