You can tell who’s never been through a hurricane before. They’re the ones buying rolls and rolls of masking tape to make giant Xes on their windowpanes, theoretically to keep them from shattering in the wake of flying debris and high winds. But any fool can tell you, unless it’s a category three or higher, there’s no need to bother with all that–and even then, better to board up your windows than to tape ’em. Some folks are gonna have an awfully unpleasant time come Friday, scraping off all that tape goo. Me, I’d rather reglaze a window.
