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.
I get a kick out of the statements "We are too far inland to worry about hurricanes" We are currently in NC and we are farther inland than The Villages and we did lose a roof (shingles only) to a hurricane. But then we have hundreds of acres of farmland around us so nothing to block the wind. But then again, I always say " Never say never". All in all after being there for a couple of stays and looking at construction practices I wouldn't worry too much about storm shutters. Just the basic practice of bringing patio furniture and smaller flower pots etc in when a storm is coming. East facing lania would be a must for me. Hot is HOT no matter how you sugar coat it. Good luck with your home search.
