In light of the tornado that hit N.H. It makes us wonder if this is what caused homes to implode. It is dangerous to open a window in a storm. Opening a window brings in high-pressure air, which then must escape. That's usually out other windows or doors, or through the ceiling or roof. Cracking the window could even cause a house to explode. A better defense is keeping all windows closed so air flows over, not into the house. If there is some warning it would be wise to cover windows with plywood.
This has been an active stormy summer with the threat of more severe weather to come. So please keep windows closed when the winds start blowing, and keep safe.
