Most of the stores that sell hurricane equipment (Home Depot, Lowe's, Publix, etc.) have free brochures of what is needed and basics of what to do in a hurricane.

Barring a real freak, I believe a hurricane would lose a lot of force before hitting us. It might have some strong winds but nothing like the winds on the coast. Our bigger danger is another tornado and I really don't think there's all that much we can do to protect ourselves against one except pray it doesn't touch ground, especially since we can't build anything underground.

I absolutely agree, Redwitch. And with you too Russ.

It is incredible that there is no greater loss of life with these storms. I have never been in one. A tornado tore apart houses as close as two houses from us years ago. The side was gone from that house and the nursery inside looked untouched, and no one was harmed.

I dislike leaving our house with a basement to come to Paradise, but hey, everything has a price or risk and what's the use of living if it isn't fun and uplifting and interesting and just a little bit on the edge?

If we live in constant fear, it destroys any chance of ever being happy.

My sermon for this Sunday.

Wake up in the back row.

now there is some window film made by 3M and others which helps to save energy and to "shatterproof" the glass, it won't stop bullets, but it should help
