Severe weather protection system

A severe weather protection system for shielding the windows and doors of a structure, said system comprising:

• at least two cavities located within the exterior of a structure wall, said at least two cavities located around the perimeter of an opening in said structure wall;
• at least two securing members fitting into said at least two structure cavities;
• and
• a protective cover having apertures corresponding to said structure cavities, wherein said protective cover is secured over the exterior of said structure wall opening and to said structure by said at least two securing members.

A severe weather protection system for shielding the windows and doors of a structure, said system comprising:

• at least two receiving members for insertion into at least two corresponding cavities located in a structure, said at least two corresponding cavities located above the upper edge perimeter of an opening in said structure;
• each of said at least two receiving members being designed to receive a corresponding securing member for securing a protective cover over the exterior of said structure opening, said protective cover being larger in dimension than said structure opening;
• and
• at least one shelf bracket secured to said structure and located below the lower edge perimeter of said structure opening, said at least one shelf bracket designed to support the lower edge of said protective cover.

A severe weather protection system for shielding the windows and doors of a structure, said system comprising:

• four receiving members for insertion into four corresponding cavities located in a structure, said four receiving members comprising internal threads and said four corresponding cavities located in spatial relation to each other around the perimeter of an opening in said structure, wherein two of said four cavities are located above the upper edge perimeter of said structure opening and two of said four cavities are located below the lower edge perimeter of said structure opening;
• a protective cover larger in dimension that said structure opening, said protective cover further comprising four apertures generally aligned with said four receiving members;
• and
• four flange bolts for securing said protective cover over the exterior of said structure opening, each of said four flange bolts being capable of insertion through one of each of said four apertures and being capable of reception into one of each of said four receiving members.

• two receiving members for insertion into two corresponding cavities located in a structure, said two receiving members comprising internal threads and said two corresponding cavities located in spatial relation to each other above the upper edge perimeter of a structure opening;
• a protective cover larger in dimension that said structure opening, said protective cover further comprising two apertures generally aligned with said two receiving members;
• two flange bolts for securing said protective cover over the exterior of said structure opening, each of said two flange bolts capable of insertion through one of each of said two apertures and capable of receipt into one of each of said two receiving members;
• and
• two shelf brackets secured to said structure, located in spatial relation to each other below the lower edge perimeter of said structure opening, said two shelf brackets designed to support the lower edge of said protective cover.

A method of protecting windows and doors during severe weather, said method comprising the steps of:

• pre-drilling at least two cavities in a structure, said pre-drilled cavities located in spatial relationship around an opening in an exterior structure wall;
• pre-drilling at least two apertures in a protective cover, said at least two apertures corresponding to said pre-drilled structure cavities such that said at least two apertures are capable of alignment over said at least two structure cavities;
• aligning said pre-drilled protective cover apertures over said pre-drilled structure apertures;
• and
• securing said protective cover to said structure with securing members.
