Default Re: Hurricane season. Storm panels. How to best protect ourselves.

Most of the stores that sell hurricane equipment (Home Depot, Lowe's, Publix, etc.) have free brochures of what is needed and basics of what to do in a hurricane.

Barring a real freak, I believe a hurricane would lose a lot of force before hitting us. It might have some strong winds but nothing like the winds on the coast. Our bigger danger is another tornado and I really don't think there's all that much we can do to protect ourselves against one except pray it doesn't touch ground, especially since we can't build anything underground.
