    Where are you? (none / 0) (#13)

    I've been through a couple of measly cat 1 hurricanes, and even those were no fun, especially if you own property.

    Batten down the hatches, stay indoors and watch TV (until the storm takes out the stations and/or the electricity) and you should be safe.
