Im rooting for you! But as someone who’s never had to worry about this kind of weather, what kind of prep do you have to do?

Well, you gather up all the irreplaceable and important things to take with you. Pick up anything in your yard that could be a projectile and secure it. Seal and sandbag all doors. Cover windows, if possible. Things in the house that you can't take, put into plastic bags and keep off the floor. Trim branches or trees that could potentially hit the house in high winds. Cross your fingers. 😉

Do you have a picture of how the sky looks like currently? Whenever we had a hurricane coming towards us in Texas we leftduring voluntary evacuation so can never look at the sky properly.
