Answer: Have a generator next to the house and board up the windows +

Explanation: Board up any windows your house has because they are most vunerable. If you don't have storm shutters to do this, then you can get wooden planks at your local hardware store.

If you lose power, then you're going to need a generator. Generators are good for supplying power to a specific area of the home, such as the refridgerator to keep food from going bad.

You should stay downstairs if you live in a two-story house. Any trees or heavy projectiles can damage your roof.

Make sure to stock up on nonperishable foods and bottled water.

Stay updated with the weather channel when you can.

Try to get surge protectors for any plugs that may be damaged by a power outage.

And most importantly, keep calm. You got this :)
