Yes, that is a major market for similar films.
It will stop a brick or explosive debri etc; not bullets.
It will stop the smash-and-grab burgler and slow down the intruder but can be cut with a knike after the window is shattered from outside.

I am told it should, We will see. I would guess to say that putting thick boards over all windows might keep the elements out but that is only if they
stay attached too. Hurricane John did minimal (only 2 small broken windows whick I think broke from the wood panels blowing off!)) and we did not have
the film on yet. I guess anything could happen but my feeling is I feel better having the film on 24/7 doing 3 things for me (hurricane, security and
sun protection) than wondering if I should put the big nasty wood panels up......since I am not there right now I feel this is better than
nothing,..... I guess we will see what happens......

We had lots of looters after the Mulege flood. I wish the film you are discussing could go a little further than Diver's description: smash-grab the
burgler and wrap up the intruder so he can be cut with a knife, after the window has shattered his fingers from the outside.

I am not the specialist on this subject but the film I have is in the inside of the window then it is locked onto the window frame with this thick
plastic stuff that I think would not be the easiest to get thru ( this is also on the inside of the window)... all good questions, I will have to ask
my son.

19:15, Los Cabos
Right now 100% cloud cover with dark ominous clouds. Breeze has picked up to 20 to 25 knots. Surf is boiling. Big swells at about 5 seconds apart.
Horizon at sea is still visible but individual clouds are not discernable. Everything in the distance is gray. Can see rain squalls heading our
direction. Part of the beach has been eroded. Our protected turtle hatchling area is now threatened. It is still about three weeks before the eggs
are due to hatch.
The sea bouy off of Cabo currently shows 19 knots of wind and 12 ft. seas at 9 seconds. The model projects 35 knots of wind and 22 foot seas at 9
seconds tomorrow afternoon. MERCY! Nobody's going fishing tomorrow!
High tide tomorrow is at 14:15 and it's a fairly high tide. Not good during the height of the storm!
Should be interesting tonight!

just remember the people that died last year in Mulege were all trying to save things. don't be foolish. every one should have insurance by now. it is
a good time to take a trip to the north.
anyone is welcome to stay here with us if you care to.

Thanks for the fabulous reports today. Much appreciated!
Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

Bad Luck
I had been hoping for some rain south of San Felipe. No hurricane, but a little rain would be nice. It's been a LONG dry spell.

At least it "looks" like this one will be relatively mild. I think I can just make out a rough "eye" of the storm within the Cabo RADAR:
Nothing like how John looked.

I've been watching the updated loops forom Wonderground.
http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/ep200711_sat.h...
There is a definite shear creating flow in the opposite direction, NE of the storm that is stopping it from building and also pulling mainland
moisture away from Baja. I would think this will stop Henriette from becoming much of a hurricane.
