I'm all set here...just have to slide my hurricane shutters over(they are the accordian type), bring in the bird feeder and arrange the back porch.......so will do it all this afternoon.
Also...remember to turn down your air conditioner as much as possible to keep it cooler longer in your house when the electric goes out...also turn up your freezer/refrig to High. It's only supposed to be gusts of 80-90mph....and it's moving fast.
The said the tornado risk is HIGH...due to the cold air moving in.....so that may be the worst of it.

My brothers wife did that, it lasted about 15-20 minutes after the electricity went out and we all got sick from it. That's a no-go, IMO.

.also turn up your freezer/refrig to High

And make sure that your refrig and freezer are filled. You can even use old liquid detergent bottles filled with water. They'll hold the cold if the electricity goes out for an extended period.
