Arrow Hurricane Tips From Bob and Irene...

With the soaked soil, Henri may take down an inordinate number of trees.

If you have a generator, see if it's going to start. Otherwise, plan that water pumps won't be operational, so store a LOT of water for toilets, etc. Most toilets are 4+ gallons: tips on flushing can be found here. Search under "toilets, winter, buckets".

Canoes and kayaks can take off. I fill mine quarter-filled with lake water.

Boats at docks will benefit from "springlines", and docked facing out.

Chairs should be roped together or stored. Umbrellas have a way of getting airborne, even if previously folded up!

Other Floridians, in particular, can add to this list.

One accessory not to have is that boat lift that attaches to pontoon boats. (Featured here in the last couple days). Pontoons have too much "sail area", and could tip over.
