wow, you guys were indeed lucky to have access to reinforcement, but my observation still wonders why you would repeatedly, durin an emergency, place temporary buffers up, seems like a huge waste of resourses vs placing permanent fixtures, and maybe having some prefab additions to throw in if needed...

My parents were in a flood (2.5 feet above record) rather than a hurricane; this was to date the only time that sandbags would ever be needed for their house. They would like to install some more permanent protections, but zoning and other regs limit their choices.
