Hurripanel™ Products: Ike-Tested and Approved!
September 2008: Hurricane Ike Strikes Galveston Bay, but “Thanks to Hurripanel™, I still have a home!”
A Hurripanel™ customer, whose San Leon home faces Galveston Bay, shares his photos and story.
BEFORE THE STORM:
“(This) photo shows the debris
that was in my yard at 5:00pm
Friday, September 12, many
hours before the hurricane hit.
You can see the top of my
boat house which is at the end
of a 300-foot pier.”
AFTER THE STORM: “You can see where some of the debris
broke through my patio handrails and was beating against my
French doors and windows. Thanks to the Hurripanels there
was no damage to any of the windows or doors.
All of my neighbors’ homes on the waterfront were destroyed
or suffered extensive damage. The only damage to my home
was the handrails you see in the photos, and a few shingles
on the roof. Thanks to the Hurripanels™ I still have a home!”
— Jim Miller
ANOTHER CUSTOMER WRITES:
“Last year’s hurricane season was exasperating in more ways than one. Although we can’t
control Mother Nature, Jerry and I realized there must be a better alternative to cutting and
installing plywood to secure our home. We’ve found that solution thanks to our neighbors Beverly
and Robert. Our Hurripanel™ window coverings are ready to install quickly and easily without
the pain.” — R & J, Friendswood, TX
