Taping your windows is no substitute for hurricane shutters. In fact, it’s just a waste of precious time, and tape. Sure, a couple small glass fragments will hold together should the window break, but the tape does not strengthen the glass and only provides you with a false sense of security - and tape goo to scrape off your window later.
