  After that, I'll see if it's possible to tie some ropes to keep the planes in place if the hanger doors depart.  I've always thought there should be tie downs inside hangers, but I've never seen any. 
From what I saw at Punta Gorda, once the doors are gone, so is the roof.
Do whatever you can to make the building wind tight.

Apparently the idea of "keeping a window open to even out the pressure" is an old wives tale and is a good way to get your roof blown off.

I was suprised to hear that the real (main) reason for boarding up windows, is to prevent them from breaking and letting in wind gusts that will blow off the roof.
