Never heard that before. Sunset Bay Captiva

We lived in Palm Harbor, FL from 1996 through 2005 and never took off the lanai's screen door. Threw all furniture in the pool and secured anything loose. I would think removing the screen door would actually push more wind into the birdcage???

Palm Harbor seemed to be the target off all the 2004 hurricanes at one time or another. One reason we moved from the Tampa Bay area n 2005 to the Villages was to get out of the target area of storms coming up the west coast of FL.
