A lot of people might be taking a trip for the storm, and you don't want to get stuck on a highway somewhere. Seal the house up as tight as you can as well. Do the windows have shutters? If so, close them, as well as all storm windows. If you don't have shutters you can try the tape on the inside/outside of the windows thing. Turn off all non-essential electrical devices. Bring in anything from outside that might blow away. Have a basement? Move all of your valuables up to a higher floor in case it floods. Clean out the fridge and all trash if you don't expect to be back for more than a few days so you don't come back to bugs.
This storm looks strong and is headed straight for central NC (right now, at least). If it hits, at a minimum there will be a lot of water and a lot of trees will blow over. Especially the ones with restricted root space (like those next to roads).

SC/NC/VA peeps: Y'all need to go and get your supplies now.
Y'all got a generator? Thinking about picking one of these up for the winter myself.
Also, I always wonder how people that don't cook manage when shit gets real outside. They still running to the Chinese takeout or the fried chicken spot every time they get hungry with roads washed out?

For cooking, I have a smoker and a lower deck it’s probably late for this but I have a small generator I got off Amazon that’s powered and charged from a wall socket.

Main worry for Philly in storms are potential power outages, trees getting blown over and spot flooding (I have to put everything up high in my basement )
I have no way to cook without power tho... my stove is electric. If the power goes out I'd want to start cooking the food in the freezer before it spoils.

We tried to visit them a week or two after Matthew hit...went through Goldsboro/Kinston because of the sinkhole on I-40. Could not get to them because a lot of backroads were flooded. And Matthew wasn’t nearly as big as Flo. Can’t front like I’m not scared that they may not have a house to go home to.

My MIL and her mom are staying with us. They have houses a quarter mile from the ocean. Technically it’s inner costal but we are praying they don’t have flooding

my sister lives right by the St. Johns River in Jacksonville. Irma destroyed her condo. The water broke down the outside wall of the building (she was in a corner unit), flowed inside and basically moved the entire joint around. It pushed the refrigerator through the kitchen wall...she found it in the hallway. Just crazy shit.

I was actually watching dude, as a lot of folk were, live...that morning. The storm was obviously bad, but he's gotta be selling it some, right. I didn't happen to be watching when the folks walked by, though. He got bodied on social media. Even some actual weather people went at him. The Weather Channel's explanation was some shit.

haha because apparently that makes the wind stronger?
i have a buddy who does beat reporting for the local news in 757 who was assigned to cover the storm in Nags Head. he recreated that for his ig page. it was pretty funny.
