Windows are the biggest victims (along with roofs) of a hurricane. Many are broken or blown in by the wind and flying debris. Board over your windows or protect them with storm shutters. If you do not have either of these, use a criss-crossing of a strong, waterproof tape. The larger the window, the greater the chance it will be broken by the pressure of the intense winds.

Large sheets of plywood work extremly well, can be cut to fit the windows and used again and again. With good planning, you can purchase the plywood in advance, cut it, drill holes for the screws or nails and waterpoof it with a good brand waterproof varnish or sealer.
