Lake town history

Belle Glade, shaped by the lake

  • The 1928 hurricane

    September 16

    The storm pushed the lake's water south, flooding the Glades; about 2,500 people died.

    For your windows: Storm history is why openings here still need full impact protection.

    City of Belle Glade · About our History

  • Hoover Dike

    About 85 miles

    After President Hoover's 1929 visit, a levee was built around the lake; it held in the 1947 storm.

    For your windows: The dike controls lake flooding; wind still drives the window rating.

    City of Belle Glade · About our History

The fine print

The rules

Wind and missile rules

Palm Beach County is outside the HVHZ. Its Risk Category II wind map runs from 150 to 170 mph, above the 140 mph mark that puts glass in the wind-borne debris region.

  • Up to 30 feet: the large-missile test of ASTM E1996.
  • Above 30 feet: the small-missile test of the same standard.
  • Each unit needs a Florida Product Approval, or a Miami-Dade NOA, covering its size and design pressure.

Sources: Palm Beach County: Wind Speeds · FBC 2023 §1609 (protection of openings) · Florida Statutes §553.842 (product approval)

Wind, recording, and boards.

Wind contourLower wind, same debris rule

  • Belle Glade's 150 and 160 mph contours are the lowest in the county.

  • Both are above 140 mph, so impact glass or shutters are still required.

Sources: Palm Beach County: Wind Speeds · PBC GIS: Risk Category II wind speed layer

PaperworkNotice of commencement

  • A recorded notice comes first once a Belle Glade job passes $5,000.

  • We handle the Clerk paperwork after you sign.

Sources: Florida Statutes §713.13 (notice of commencement) · Florida Statutes §713.135

Condos and HOAsAssociations

  • Condo boards may set hurricane-protection specs and must allow units that meet them.

  • HOAs can't refuse impact openings that meet code.

  • Most Belle Glade homes have no association, which simplifies the file.

Wind contours, debris-region rules, and permits across the county are laid out on Palm Beach County impact windows.
