It does always cracks me up year after year you guys living in the hurricane states watching thousands of people line up at the hardware store to buy plywood when a storm is near. I would think as soon as you buy a home down their that would be one of the 1st things to do

Not me, we moved into our new house 2 years ago in July, the week after we moved in I was at Lowes getting wood. Its all cut, marked and stacked in my shed. I was even nice enough to leave the wood from our other house marked and stacked in the shed there for the new owners.

Ugh Plywood.. that's for LOSERS!

When Isabel hit here a few years ago, I went over to my buddies house for a Hurricane Party (best part about Hurricanes) & walked into his house and saw Plywood attached to the inside of the windows.

I looked at him and said, "dude what is that going to do." He said don't ask my wife didn't want the plywood on the outside of the house..

HA HA.. It was funny....
