Patio Furniture, flower pots, bird feeders, lawn tools, put cars inside if you can to protect from flying objects, close any shutters, remove loose window boxes. Anything that can become a projectile.

7 yrs in hurricane alley.

So Cal people: if you're driving after the storm & come to a flooded wash, do NOT drive into that thing. Everybody thinks their car won't get stuck/washed away. You're wrong--it will and you will be screwed.

i have a high-quality cooler that i pack up with sandwich stuff, anything that i might want to eat that will keep for a few days, and frozen water bottles-- so i don't have to open the fridge at all. the ice melts, that's drinking water if needed.

i also fill the fridge with frozen water bottles, as much ice as you can make/get.

don't forget to stock up on pet food too

Make sure that all important paperwork is in a large zipper bag and in a safe location.
