Some interesting tidbits from the supporting documentation from the article posted:

“Continental United States (CONUS) hurricane-related inflation-adjusted damage has increased significantly since 1900. However, since 1900 neither observed CONUS landfalling hurricane frequency nor intensity shows significant trends, including the devastating 2017 season.”

And this:
“Several studies have examined trends in CONUS hurricane losses since 1900 by normalizing historical damage to modern-day values by adjusting for inflation, population, and various individual wealth metrics, as well as other factors (Pielke and Landsea 1998; Pielke et al. 2008; Schmidt et al. 2010; Nordhaus 2010; Bouwer and Wouter Botzen 2011; Neumayer and Barthel 2011; Barthel and Neumayer 2012). These studies have typically shown no significant trend in CONUS landfalling normalized damage once societal change is considered (Pielke et al. 2008). This result is expected, as landfalling CONUS hurricanes have not increased in frequency or intensity from 1900 through 2017 (as shown below), meaning that an unbiased normalized loss record would be expected to show the same (lack of) trend. Independent climate and economic data indicate that the primary source of the increase in damage caused by hurricanes in recent decades is due to increases in exposure along the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts (Pielke et al. 2008; Bouwer and Wouter Botzen 2011).”

So let’s look at the “Money Ball.” If climate change is making hurricanes stronger and occur more often, then why aren’t more hurricanes landing and why are they not stronger? Get it? Why do we continue to build on and near the coasts if climate change is causing more and stronger hurricanes?

The data does not lie. The facts are what they are. The truth is we are being lied to about the frequency and strength of hurricanes and it is due to climate change. Yet the proof is here that it is all a lie.

Did I read that correctly?

There has been

no increase in frequency or intensity

of landfalling CONUS hurricanes

from 1900 to 2017?

OMFG!  How are the "follow the science" idiots going to reconcile (spin) that?  For them, "Follow the Science" is just a slogan.  They'd follow a septic tank truck if it had the word "Science" on the side!   :rofl:

If you're doing with glass, plexiglass, or similar construction, you're going to spend quite a bit.  Google wind borne debris.

The couple that I looked into use panels of wood or some other surface, not glass
