I have wondered that too. I have had the same 3/4" plywood since 1999 when Hurricane Floyd looked like it was going to wallop us. I still have the same 7500 watt generator as well.
This year, I just had Hurricane panels installed on my office and a 15KW Standby generator. My house is in the process of getting the same. I am ordering Panels and buying a 15KW generator for it as well. I had to make sure my office is go to go first.
I also set up an internet fax line and bought a Cellular Card for my laptop so I can get my business up and running ASAP.
As far as new construction. A house cannot pass a final inspection for a CO unless it has shutters so I am at a loss as to why everyone runs to b uy more plywood.
I did hear reports from Palm Bay Florida that people were throwing out their Plywood after the season was over last year. Can people be that stupid? You dont have to answer.
