What do they do for the skycraper windows to
secure them? That is a fearsome thought ..
those windows bursting and falling down below.
Just flipped to Weather Channel, and Bryan Norcross
just finished giving tips. He’ll be on periodically
thru the night.
His tip was to take zip lock bags and fill them 2/3
full of water, seal tight, and jam them into the
freezer. Will help for afterward for food preservation
and for the melted water.
I’ll never forget him during Hurricane Andrew. His calm
voice, solid information and guidance thru it all for
hours .. he was our rock, as we anticipated what turned out to be 150++ mph winds (likely 180+ at the home I evacuated). I was so grateful, as I was freaking out, until we finally lost power at 4am.

They nail them shut or put in wood blocks to secure them. Good idea with the baggies but my freezer is so small and already filled...did do it with a few small Tupperwares. Just filled my tub and I’m sure it will have gone down by morning. :)

Nothing to do. They are very tough tempered glass. In hurricane Alicia in Houston 1983 the buildings were hit hard by debris. The broken glass became part of the debris cloud. It was strange seeing all those formerly shiny buildings covered on entire sides by plywood for several weeks
I stock my freezer with bottled water. This way they can be moved to the fridge to extend coolness there.
There’s no mess from melting ice cubes, and they can always be reused for drinking & whatnot.
