 Hurricane

What you can do to protect you house and family from a hurricane. This is what you can do in perpetration to the hurricane. One is take ply wood and put it over the doors and windows. And sand bags around the door. What you can do in a hurricane is go to the strongest part of the house (which is the basement or the center if the house, but if it floods you want to go to the highest part of the house), but stay away from windows. Also do not go outside. If you do half to go outside get a rope and tie it around you. And hold on to whatever you can.
