Don't you have any way to get out of the way RA? Anywhere to go thats not in the line of fire? Basement, bomb shelter, something?

You need to prepare, RA. Board over your windows, & secure anything outside. Make sure you've got a calor gas stove or similar. What else would people suggest?

Here...

1.Select a safe place for the family to weather the storm. This may be a location in your home -- consider a windowless room on the bottom floor. If your home doesn't have a safe area, you should know the locations of at least two emergency shelters near your home. If you have special medical needs and don't think you'll be able to get to the shelter on your own, contact the county in advance to make prior arrangements.

2.Stock up on food and water. You should have enough non-perishable food and water in your home to last the family for at least a few weeks. If your stock of supplies is old, be sure to refresh it. You might want to purchase new canned goods every few years and rotate the rest through your pantry. Water should be replaced annually.

3.Prepare other disaster supplies. You'll need to stock up on batteries, flashlights, rope, tarps, plastic bags, bad-weather clothing and other essentials to help you through the aftermath of a bad storm.
Get your home ready. If you have hurricane shutters, make sure that you have all of the parts and have some extra screws/washers handy. If you don't, have a supply of plywood precut to fit your windows. Gather anything loose from your yard and store it in the garage. Watch the news when a storm is approaching and protect your home when advised by local authorities. If you wait until the rain starts, it may be too late.

4.Develop a family communications plan. You might become separated before or after the storm. It's a good idea to have an out-of-state contact (a relative up north?) to act as the point of contact for all family members in the event of an emergency. Make sure everyone in the family knows who that person is and carries their phone number in their wallet or purse.

5.Check your insurance coverage. Companies stop writing coverage when a storm is approaching. Ensure that your homeowner's insurance has enough windstorm coverage to rebuild your home in today's market. Also, remember that standard insurance doesn't cover flooding. You'll need special flood insurance from the federal government.

6.Plan for the family pets. Shelters will not accept pets. If you want to ensure your pets livelihood, you may wish to consider evacuating early to a friend's home that's in a safe area.

7.Keep your vehicles gassed up to at least half a tank at all times throughout hurricane season. When a storm approaches, lines WILL get long (up to five hours!) and gas stations will run out of gas before the storm hits. You need to have enough gas to safely evacuate if the situation warrants.

Get to it man!

Go away for a day or two come Tuesday if you really believe it's gonna happen, even if your skint use your thumb and hitch hike the fook outta the danger area, sleep in barns, what ever , but if i believed it might get way serious i'd fuck off for a couple of days.

If it was anyone I didn't know, or not on this forum, I'd say stick your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye... but, he could always board up his place and make his way down here to wait out the storm (just need an anchor to tie to his ass so the winds don't blow him away... and some goggles for the sand ).

If he's gonna ride it out there he should probably have some water on hand, canned/dry foods, lantern or candles in case the power goes out... and if he can, somewhere to light a fire (fireplace, fire pit, etc...) to keep warm.

I'd come with you MrsGood, we could fight our way to Stars's place
