then use 2x4's split on the angle of your window sill to hold the plywood in place
with topcon screws going 90 deg to the wind into the sill so they can't pull out

of course metal shutters lag bolted in place is better but not a last minute deal to get
Cool, I hadn't heard/thought of that before. Good info.
