Typhoon Condo Procedures

There's another typhoon coming news report say.. From typhoon Frank it is now typhoon Igme. I was caught off guard last Sunday when winds started blowing loudly and rain poured heavily.. Smashing and tapping our windows.. Good thing it did not break. It has already been our SOP to close all the windows when we hear window glass banging here in the condominium. We have standard glass windows across all units here in our place. All the bedrooms have glass windows majority of which are life sized ones. Once we hear it opening back and forth and hearing a large thud sound, it is already our call to close all windows. They say that windows break when air entering inside the house from open areas piles up creating a huge force trying to pull everything inside out. Glass windows are the first ones to break given their volatility. Next thing we knew other items will come flying out of the open window. As a golden rule inside the house, as we hear a thudding sound from other units, close all the windows including in the bathroom.
