It's a waste of time to tape the windows, and just makes more work to untape and clean them later. BUT...DO NOT LEAVE YOUR WINDOWS OPEN TO RELIEVE PRESSURE. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!!
Close up the house as tightly as you can. I went thru Charlie, Ivan, Rita, Francis,.....Wilma,...seems like every hurricane that thought of coming near Florida. Trust me on this. And a few tornadoes, to boot. Leave those windows closed.
