1. There is a reason I don't have trees in my yard.
2. In a CAT 5 (or near) board can be a waste of time
3. do not panic at all, no one really knows what will happen until days before it lands
4. if you do not have a truck, do not go driving around after the storm passes - your car won't be happy
5. if you must - stocking up doesn't work as well as making a large item - I do lentil stew - it's all veggies so if it gets warm there is zero risk - if you have meat then just freeze it and use it in portions (**note do not use fish and poultry in this strategy)
6. Frozen pizzas are great
7. If you have underground power lines - you do not need a generator. IF (big if) you lose power it will be only a hours just don't open the fridge and freezer a lot.
8. Tuck all the cars in the garage,
9. Don't bother to evacuate - the frustration isn't worth it. However IF it was a mandatory - FLY!!!
10. have a LOT of alcohol
11. make sure you take the dog out before the majority of it hits
12. Have fun, enjoy, we just have a party LOL it's really not all that bad at all.
13 . fill your bathtub (might want to clean it first)
14. did I mention - LOTS of alcohol??
oh and for TV by all means DO NOT take the golf cart out afterwards... these people do not hurricane cut the palms so there will be a lot of problems. and possible flodded tunnels.
