Certain conditions are required for a hurricane to form. They form over warm ocean water. The warm water evaporates and rises into the air and if there is light wind, it pushes the water vapour up higher. These rising vapour helps storm to grow.
A strong hurricane wind can blow off outside as well as inside of the house. People can cover their doors and windows to protect them from breaking. As the result, strong wind of hurricane would not enter the house and roof and walls of the house will remain safe.
The Siffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale rates hurricanes based on their wind speed.
Roll-down shutter are made of strong metal that's why they last longer than a pollywood shutter. It takes only 40 to 60 seconds to roll down a Roll-down shutter but Pollywood shutter takes 20 to 25 minutes to be placed. Unlike Pollywood shutters Roll-down shutters can not be made at home in one weekend. It must be orderd and takes two to three weeks to get set up.
Pollywood shutters are made up of strong boards. People can make their own pollywood shutters in one weekend. They should be placed in safe and dry places until they are needed.
Area of your window = 2 feet x 3 feet = 6 square feet Cost of Pollywood shutter per square foot = $1 Cost of a Pollywood shutter for a window of 6 square feet = $6 Cost of a Roll-down shutter per square foot = $40 Cost of a Roll-down shutter for a window of 6 square feet = $240
