pretty crazy. the reason for the bolts in the framing of the house (through the stucco) is to transmit the force to something other than the glass. your suction cups don't do that. with a direct hit, you'll have a punched out window your way.
How do you get the plywood off?
Pretty crazy. When the neighbors cat hits the plywood at 130mph how much cushion do you think those suction cups are going to provide? I agree that the holes in the house look pretty cruddy. Especially if you have a nice new house. Not much way around it though if you are going to board up and don't have some type of permanent shutters.

Question: what's the concept? To allow the window (behind the plywood, at 4 or so inches?) to "go" pretty easily, so that any pressure difference can quickly equalize between inside the house and outside the window, or in front of the plywood?
(Assuming the wind, etc, can whip around behind the plywood, mounted *away* from the window?)
Putting up the plywood, and just leaving the window open?
Doors to the outside -- what about them?
Thanks

PS: what about picture-windows, or sliding glass-doors -- what to do about them?
