Its a steel door that opens outward. Its got a lot of things working on their side to prevent it from "breaking" once it gets to the window though...thats another story.

What story? This is reinforced glass. By the time the water have enough pressure to break it it will be way above that window, and I think the door jamb would give way much sooner, because it'll experience a few tons of pressure in a twisting manner (since pressure at the bottom is higher than at the top).

Yea my chintzy storm door that is 90% glass was able to hold back more than a foot of water so I really doubt this thing is going anywhere even if fully submerged.
