Sad to see that FOUR people saw fit to correct the OP's spelling, as if that mattered to the issue. Cut some slack, folks.

And by now, you've seen what the outer bands of a hurricane are like. Exhilarating weather, a bit windy, some rain. No need for the panic spread by the 24/7 news.

I've been through two dozen hurricanes, and only one was worth doing a lot of prep. That one was in Pensacola, 120mph overhead in the eye wall. Yes, it took weeks of cleanup afterwards—but we were completely safe through it. Because we're 100 miles inland from either direction, the odds of anything major here in The Villages is extremely low.

If the wind where you are isn't going to be above about 90mph, then just bring in the loose objects, stock some water, ride it through and enjoy it.
