Well, the NHC says to close all windows and shutter them and don't open anything during a storm.
As far as jalousies, I think they fell out of favor because of air conditioning. They leak air like a sieve. In the days of no AC they made a lot of sense, they could be opened wide to allow air to flow through, and they didn't obstruct the view at all when closed because they were all glass.
But with hurricanes I would think they are no more or less safe without shutters than any other windows.
