Having been through hurricanes Ike and Rita, evacuated for hurricane Andrew, and having worked an evacuee shelter for hurricane Katrina, I am here to answer your questions.

People that have been through a hurricane are welcome to help answer questions.

Have at least 1 week of food and water for every person in your group
Evacuate low lying areas
LED flashlights are better then old style bulbed flashlights
Buy lithium batteries
Buy LED flashlights with long battery life and low lumens for inside the house
Candles and kids do not mix
Secure important papers
Do not forget about pets

Take hurricanes seriously, they are nothing to play with

Hmmm...are we the only people that have hurricane parties?? Have enough beer/whiskey/wine on hand for at least a two weeks for 15 people. That was mandatory stuff for Hurricane Katrina where we had no electricity for three weeks.

What else are you supposed to do after you clean the yard?? BBQ and beer. Important stuff :D
