Should I tape my windows when a hurricane threatens?

No! It's a waste of effort, time and tape. It offers little strength to the glass and NO protection against flying debris. After the storm passes you will spend a lot of time trying to scrape the old, baked-on tape off your windows. Once a Hurricane Warning has been issued and you find yourself without hurricane shutters, you would be better off spending your time putting protection (such as plywood) over doors and windows.
