simulation.

CNN simulated what flying debris will do to a normal home, a condition comon during a hurricane. They had a canon firing a 2 by 4 plank, placed at a distance facing a piece of board. In the experiment, plywood and chipwood were tested. The 2 by 4 pierced through the chipwood easily and stopped by the cement wall behind the board. When it comes to the plywood, it cracked. The point is neither is capable of protecting your home windows.

Please check for understandability and correctness.

Thanks.
