Mfg Homes and Hurricane preparations

[Kirk Shoemaker]

Hurricane Rita is just passing the Florida Keys and is predicted to pass over the Galveston / Houston Texas area as a cat 3 or 4 in three days. I live 100 miles inland in a 28' x 76' Fleetwood Mfg Home with Vinyl siding and I would like to know the best technique for covering my windows with self-made plywood shutters. Can someone with experience in hurricanes and plywood shutters please advise me. Thanks.

Best Regards,
