Yes, I understand that true hurricane "proof" windows are very expensive. However, I was told by our TV sales agent that the new code for windows provided a considerable improvement against breakage than whatever the "old" technology offered. While perhaps not hurricane proof, this new standard is a considerable step up from the way houses/windows were built before this new code. At least that's what the TV sales rep said.

Based on the above two comments, it seems that perhaps I was sold a bill of goods by the sales rep????
