Much more than NJ was. Any new construction in the past 20-30 years requires hurricane resistant windows, tie downs on roofs etc. The windows are pretty cool. To test them, they fire a 2X4 from a cannon. The wood can break the glass but cannot penetrate. Then they bombard the window with undulating pressure for a long period of time, again, the glass is broke but cannot come out of the frame.
I haven’t seen these tests live, but have been in the facilities where they are performed, once was just last week.
I think code requires these windows within 3 or 5 miles of the coast.
Reminds me of a story I heard about testing the strength of airliner windshilds against geese by firing frozen turkeys from a “turkey canon”. Apparently the guys trying it at some facility said the windows didn’t stand a chance. The turkeys went right through them.
Eventually, the guys guiding them got the full skinny on how they were doing it. They reminded them that they need to thaw out the turkeys before firing them. :-)
