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

I would debate the theory that we live too far inland in TV to suffer major wind damage from a hurricane. Sure, the distance from the two coasts would mitigate the winds somewhat but to what degree would depend on a number of factors, including storm size, strength, direction and speed. As for which direction is best for your home to face, I doubt that matters. I once experienced a hurricane that was just offshore and paralleling the coast off Georgia. I had 21 trees in my backyard that fell but was surprised to see they fell toward the house (east). That means the easterly winds as the storm approached did little damage compared to the westerly winds after the storm passed.
