And that folks is why they mandate hurricane windows
Impact rated glazing is not mandated. Opening protections are required in the high velocity wind debris regions and High Velocity Hurricane Zones but this can be achieved by means other than impact rated glazing.

Yes, I saw that the glass was tempered…otherwise, slice and dice.
I think it was more than tempered, it shattered but didn't crumble so it had a sheet in the center like a windshield
Impact rated glazing is laminated which is why it stays together.

My first thought when I saw the pictures of the cots being set up was that I would rather be on the upper concourses, club level, or team areas than on the field.
It was just an odd choice in general given the forecast and forecasted path. Glad that no one in there was hurt but they will be quite tired when they have to head out in the morning to start working

I know that glass to the floor was fine in homes I designed over the years, but only on the first floor at ground level. Anything more than 18” above grade level on the first floor in those instances, or on floors above had to be tempered/membraned if it was less than 24” AFF.
