Should I be watching football this afternoon or getting the house ready? Thanks.
Some of my neighbors have storm windows. We did have a neighbor whose palm tree fell over during Irma. Fortunately, it fell on the road.

Getting around on a golf cart will be tricky to especially if the golf cart tunnels are underwater. That happened during Irma as well.

You should be OK but watch where the storm is heading tomorrow.
