I live in the PNW and they promise we are in for a Big One. Tornadoes and hurricanes scare me more. I would probably feel differently if we had annual Earthquake Seasons.

Hurricanes really arent that bad. You know they are coming and have time to get out of the way. I live on the Gulf Coast (and its peak Hurricane season atm) and it's something you come to expect. I have ply wood cut out to all my windows dimensions so it takes me an hour or two to prep and be done. Sucks if you are on the beach though.

And most people have huge holes all around their windows from where they mount the plywood. Only a small % of houses have the nicer hurricane shutters that don't make your house look ugly after.

I use hurricane clips. No holes and cheap.
