Use the X, it serves two purposes. First it will keep the glass from splintering and second, it marks the spot.
Tape won't stop glass breakage, all it does is keep some of the glass from flying after it is broken. As the hurricane force winds are extending to 145 miles from the center and tropical storm force winds well over 200 miles from center you might want to do it. But if a tree limb or some other debris comes through the window it won't make much of a difference.Originally posted by Bertha Venation
I live near 301 @ Billingsley in Waldorf/St Charles, not far from White Plains. Do I need to tape my windows?
I won't say this is a stupid question, because honestly, how would I know, not being acquainted w/ the land or w/ hurricanes?
And, is that blue no-residue masking tape sufficient?

Depends on how much potential debris you have laying around. If you and your neighbors leave out flower pots, grills, pink flamingos, firewood, mirrored balls, bigwheels and pool chairs, or you're facing big trees, then yes, I would.Originally posted by Bertha Venation

Exactly. The idea is that you are banking on that you are lucky enough that only one piece of debris manages to break your window and bounce off. Then the trash bag holds the glass out and small stuff that comes later.Originally posted by Ken King

Tom Brokaw has now ruled a Chesapeake Bay strike "Too Close to Call". We won't know for sure for another 36 days, pending a ruling from the Florida Supreme Court and subsequent appeal to the USSC.
Liberals will complain that residents of Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey are being disenfranchised, deprived of their constitutional right to be drowned by a Category 3 hurricane.
Jesse Jackson will complain that Jeb Bush prevented black weathermen from obtaining weather information before the last official hurricane update. He will then rent a mob to pour duct tape, plywood, toilet paper, milk, and bread into the Chesapeake in protest.
The lingering perception of DelMarVa residents will be that North Carolingians 'stole' the hurricane. "Selected, not deflected" will be their rallying cry.
