It Was a Riot -

After a surf competition in Huntington Beach, CA, youths went on a rampage. These guys are putting a stop sign through a storefront window.  "Let the thefts begin!"

They would have FAILED had Armor Glass security film been installed on that window. Between the film and frame bonding they would have cracked the glass but would NOT have gotten inside or through the glass. Below is a photo of a window that had Security Film installed before hurricane windborne debris hit it. Notice that the glass is cracked but there isn't an empty frame where glass used to be...

Ummm. Burglars, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Rioters, Shooters, Solar Heat....just a few of the reasons why you should have Armor Glass Security Films protecting you and your property from scenes like this...

Got a Fertlizer Plant or Gas Plant Nearby? Blue Rhino explosion...

If you need another reason to consider protecting your property, the Blue Rhino plant explosion should be one. If you have a plant like this nearby - or a propane tank in your backyard fueling your BBQ pit, you are sitting near a bomb.

Explosions can blow out glass, causing injury and blowing structures apart. Armor Your Glass. You never know when you need it...

Storm Consultant Warns of Complacency

Bill Read, who was the director of the National Hurricane Center, has warned that people are getting "complacent" about the potential for another Hurricane hit....

Two things are at work: The first culprit is memory. After about 5 years peoples' memories begin to fade about the threat.

The second culprit is a simple FACT. About 200,000 new people move to Houston every year. That means that since IKE hit in 2008 we have 1,000,000 NEW people in Houston who have NO IDEA what IKE was like.

For a refresher, here is a link to a Google photo page showing the windows missing across Houston after IKE hit. Remember, for each missing window, rain was able to enter causing major reconstruction over months - all avoidable with Armor Glass security film. Here is the IKE photo link.

I guarantee that every one of the new people to Houston have houses which lack window protection - not just from hurricanes, but burglar break-ins as well. Not to mention solar heat! They--and anyone else with plain glass-- really need to "Armor their Glass" before a break-in takes away their wife's jewelry, or another storm enters the Gulf of Mexico...

Here is a link to the story on Bill Read.

Tornado Hits Milan Italy - They Have Never Seen One

Our climate continues to get more WEIRD by the day. A TORNADO hit Milan Italy (its in northern Italy) - They have NEVER seen one before~!  Here is a link to the strange phenomenon.

Tornadoes are like condensed hurricanes - the swirling winds hurls debris through the air. That debris breaks windows - the weakest link - causing internal damages. If it hits a house the air rushing in the broken window produces UPLIFT on the roof - over 50,000 lbs of force. It basically blows the structure apart.

Stay tuned. Armor your Glass - you never know when you'll need the protection from Mother Nature, or from human intrusion.  Our competitors are selling 4 mil - HALF as thick as our 8 Mil. Some don't even put frame bonding on tempered glass - so the glass WILL fall out of the frame when struck.

If you think you are "saving money" buying cheap substitutes, think again. It's your family's security at risk.

DORIAN - Marching West Towards USA and Gulf of Mexico....

It's still early but we have a weather system worth watching. DORIAN is marching west in the Atlantic.  It may or may not reach the Gulf of Mexico but we'll know more in a few days.

Don't wait until the storm is in the Gulf or nearby to get prepared, because then its too late. Windows are the weakest link. Studies show that windborne debris breaking a window is what leads to roof loss and structural collapse. Armor Glass security film is rated for a Level C Large Missile impact - to prevent flying debris from breaching your glass.

TRAVEL Makes Us BETTER Americans

I was watching a presentation about our Rotary Books for the World project that has now shipped over 1 million POUNDS of books to countries like Africa where students don't have books and I was reminded WHY Americans SHOULD travel the world more.

Only by travel do you see our own place more clearly. You can see how many things we take for granted. It makes you realize that people are so appreciative of the chance to learn - while many of our young people don't think its important.

And it makes you realize how much ALIKE all humans are once you get to know them...
