One idea for your patio-poolside furniture: Toss it into the pool. It won’t go anywhere, and it will be sparkling clean when you fish it out after the storm.
Thanks for the tip
Great idea! Also tie down closed umbrellas and if possible take them down and store them. Umbrellas are incredibly destructive in wind… even those that are closed…the wind gets into the canopy, inflates and it becomes a projectile.
