If I might make one humble suggestion. If you have a pocket knife around, sharpen it and carry it with you. They come in handy in a thousand ways.

Additionally, sharpen all your kitchen knives, your wood saws and check your chain saws. Having spent a few days after a storm, I can assure you that you will need more than one sharp knife and you will need that saw.

Rope or line comes in handy and of course, duct tape. Just sayin’

Yes! Also a hack saw saved my balcony during Hurricane Frances. The solar pool heater (really big black rubberized mats filled with water) tore away from its roof mooring. It was flapping around on the roof and stressing the 2" pvc pipe attached to my balcony support. Sawed the PVC pipe in two, relieving the stress. Don't recall where the solar pool mat finally landed when it blew off the roof.

A word of caution to hurricane neophytes...Do NOT apply duct tape (or any tape) to your windows. It does not protect anything and it is a beast to remove the adhesive. A complete waste of time, money and effort.
