It's simply a matter of physics, not location, moron. Even if a window
itself is 100% water tight, a storm surge engulfs the whole house. A storm
surge that reaches window level is high enough that water is going in via all available means. In that case, what a window does beyond not breaking
from flying debris, is largely irrelevant. Even the flying debris part
is probably irrelevant if the storm surge reaches window level. Blowing
out of a window might actually help at that point, equalizing pressure,
so that the water doesn't cave in the whole structure.
