Do people cover windows in prep for hurricanes or is TV too far inland to worry about such things.

Tornado alley Nebraskan is just freaking out in advance.
Welcome, but alas, you are worried about a non issue. Hurricanes winds blow from two opposing directions. They cycle the first direction until the center passes over, then they go in the other. They of course are circular patterns.

As far as a home facing a particular direction, I would make sure my lanai faced east. It would have nothing to do with wind though.
