Protecting Your Home During a Hurricane

Hurricane clips to keep your windows/home safe: Most local stores (Home Depot) have ½” clips, or you can order ¾” clips from McFeely's too. Use these to easily install plywood to cover window openings without having to drill through bricks or window frames.

Power restoration times for a hurricane by CenterPoint Energy. Unfortunately, your house is NOT their priority. Hospitals, water treatment plants, and emergency services are first to have power restored, then business areas, followed by residential.

If you have any questions or need additional advice, let us know. The more prepared people are to handle unexpected emergencies, the faster we can recover and get back to the business of making clients happy!
