We recently bought a FL house, in the path of Irma. Alas we are not

My question. The prior owner had installed Hurricane rated windows and
sliiding doors. Clearly they are effective to flying debris. What I do
not know, ma asking for advice : are hurricane rated "windows/ doors"
also effective in limiting any water penetration. Our house is
located in the Tampa area, directly on the Gulf shore - where high
water surges have been reported. We were not "home" to put down sand
bags and plastic barriers
there are only two types of windows and doors -
"Those that leak and those that are going to leak."
