Been hearing a lot lately about these hurricane-resistant windows and how they're supposed to withstand crazy winds and flying debris. I read somewhere that they're tested by launching 2x4s at them at like 30 mph—sounds kinda wild, honestly. But does anyone know if they really hold up in real life storms? Like, has anyone here actually had them installed and seen them in action during a hurricane? Curious if they're as tough as advertised or if it's mostly marketing fluff...

- Installed them myself a couple years back—definitely not just hype.
- Went through a Cat 3 hurricane last season, and they held up great... no leaks, no cracks.
- Worth the peace of mind alone, honestly.
