Full tank of gas in the car. Car parked on side of house, away from trees.
Windows taped, sleeping accomodations in basement.
Canned food, powdered milk, some water, some mre’s in case effects of hurricane go for more than a week. (Public water will hopefully not give out.)
Fingers on both hands crossed, hoping that Ms. Irene’s hormones go back to normal.

Might be parking car in large parking lot in case local street is blocked by trees.

First aid kit - juist in case?
Provisions of a alcohol-related nature - Rebel Yell, Budweiser, Johnnie Walker Red?
Sounds like you are fixed.
The only thing wrong and it doesn’t hurt is that taping the windows does no good.
I was born and grew up in Florida. I remember one in the 70’s which blew down all the old oaks in my parents yard but did no damage to the house at all.
You seem well prepared... Stay safe!!
Taping the windows does nothing except make sure the flying shards which kill you are a little bigger. Be sure to take the tape off before the sun bakes it onto the glass.
I’m in Florida and have been through quite a few.

Wash and dry all your clothes that need it. It might be a couple of weeks before you get to again.
