Unhappy They can fail outward.

Here is the word on garage doors from the Florida Disaster Org. Note that doors can fail outward as well as inward.

It also has information about stickers which may be on your garage doors indicating their wind load rating.

A few years ago I spent the money to upgrade my garage doors. Well worth it for peace of mind.
