Hurricane Shutters

With all of the recent weather events and the increasing severity of storms each year, I was wondering if anyone in the area has purchased hurricane shutters. I have only seen one property on Playa Palmar with them, so it does not look like they are very common here. Are they a good investment? Does anyone sell them locally?

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.
