When you see a hurricane watch on the bottom of your TV screen you should pay attention to it and see if it is telling your to evacuate your area.
Listen to NOAA Weather Radio or local radio or TV stations for up-to-date storm information.
Prepare to bring inside any lawn furniture, outdoor decorations or ornaments, trash cans, hanging plants, and anything else that can be picked up by the wind.
Prepare to cover all windows of your home. If hurricane storm shutters have not been installed, use precut plywood as described above.
Note: Tape does not prevent windows from breaking, so taping windows is not recommended.
Fill your car's gas tank.
Recheck manufactured home tie-downs.
Check batteries and stock up on canned food, first aid supplies, drinking water, and medications.
Of course it would make alot more sense to setup a way to protect your windows way before a hurricane ever happens by pre-installing the brackets for slide in hurricane panels and preferrably fiberglass storm panels.
Tommorrow I will talk about what to do when a hurricane Warning is issued.
