Hurricane Shutters

We have been here full time for 7 years, and have actively discussed them. We are on la Ropa, so not on open ocean. We decided that considering the look, the price and the rust factor, we would just take our chances. Yes we have a LOT of big windows, and we never bought earthquake insurance in California for similar reasons. By the time you paid for it for enough years and factored in the deductible, it didn't make sense to us.
