Saw yesterday in a video how people in FLA prepare their windows for storms. Everyone used nails or srcews and they damaged their wood window frames like crazy. Some frames looked like termites had their fun.
Why don´t they drill holes, put in a negative of a screw (sorry, don´t know the english name) and fix them permanently with Epoxy? If they make one time a template for the frames AND protecting wood pieces, it is an easy going and wood protecting pieces can also replaced easy with exactly same screw holes. That would protect the frames and makes it faster to protect when a storm comes in. There are also screw negatives to find with a funnel where screws find their way easy.
Some examples. Also available ribbed on the outside to glue them in an give more hold on the construction
My preferred.
