No. It's a waste of time and money that could be better spent on other preparation. If the window is hit by a tree branch or some other flying object, the tape isn't going to make any difference, at all. It doesn't make the glass any stronger and it doesn't prevent flying glass if the window fails.

People along the coast, who have dealt with storms many times before, either have steel shutters or they board up.
