We have double doors at the front entrance and there are only a few
inches of wall space on either side of the doors. We need a way to
reinforce the doors in case of high wind but we also need to be able
to open them in a hurry in case of emergency.

completely speculating here.

How about a plywood/fibercloth panel that sits outside the doors and
has metal strapping that slides between the jam and/or between the two
doors?

How about making a carpeted "t" that braces against the opposite wall?

you also need to give more information.
is there a brace between the doors?
do they open in or outward?
How much space between the inner section of the door and the opposite
wall?
is you goal to keep them closed, or protect the outside?

I didn't re-read last weeks posts, but i seem to remember there being
some answers... did you explain/address them?

Why more floridians don't build geodesic or monolithic concrete dome
homes, i don't know. Those things are said to be able to take huge
wind loads. Actually i do know... darn home owners associations.
but that's another argument...
