I wonder if in the 1700's - 1800's the hailstorms were worse as the homes were built with shutters that actually SHUT to protect the windows or was this just because the glass was so fragile. I know that Florida has hurricane shutters. I've only seen one modern house (not in Florida) built with outside window shutters.
