At Palm Aluminum and Glass, a hurricane impact window is a full package that includes glass and a frame that is designed to:
During hurricanes and tropical storms, withstand internal and external wind stresses.
Withstand projectiles that are launched at a high rate. A third party verifies the performance of hurricane impact windows and doors under certain conditions outlined by local building rules.
Hurricane Wilfred was a Category 1 hurricane that formed in the Atlantic Ocean in September 2020. It did not significantly impact any land areas and eventually dissipated without causing major damage.
Hurricane Julia was a Category 4 hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean in 2010, but it did not directly impact any land areas, so it did not result in any reported deaths.
Yes. Hurricane Katie was a category 3 hurricane and the last storm of the 1955 Atlantic hurricane season.
Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf Coast in 2005, was worse than Hurricane Camille in terms of its widespread devastation and loss of life. The catastrophic flooding in New Orleans and the overall economic impact made Katrina one of the costliest hurricanes in U.S. history.
A hurricane grouping refers to a classification system used to categorize hurricanes based on their intensity, as determined by their wind speed and potential impact. The most common hurricane grouping system is the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which ranges from Category 1 (weakest) to Category 5 (strongest).

No. Hurricane Sandy did not have a particularly significant impact in Florida. Most of Sandy's impact was in New York and New Jersey. The worst hurricane to hit Florida was probably the Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928.
A hurricane would have a devastating IMPACT on the environment.
The immediate impact of the Galveston hurricane on the city included power cuts, and deaths for citizens in low-lying areas.
The impact (destructive capability) happens as soon as the hurricane forms however the hurricane may never make landfall and therfore never cause damage to human property.
No, you should not crack open a window during a hurricane. This can actually increase the destructive force of the storm and put you at risk of injury from flying debris. It's important to stay indoors and take shelter in the safest area of your home during a hurricane.
It got a bit windy.
I wouldn't count on hurricane impact glass. Take a look at buildings on the news where a hurricane has passed through. It's best to get shutters for your windows if it suits your house and some people simply put up wallboard or thick plywood when they are warned of a hurricane coming.
