I just finished getting ready. Even with it tracking to the east, we are supposed to get sustained 30-45 mph winds, and gusts in the 50-55 range. 55 is powerful. That's enough to pick up a garbage can and throw it through your window, or rip shingles off your roof.
I just brought in all my lawn furniture, tied up my garbage cans, and switched out the screens for the storm windows on the north and east side of the house.
Now the only thing I'm worried about is the rain. We're supposed to get 1 to 4.5 inches. If we get 4.5 inches, our basement is going to flood just from the roof and yard runoff. If the power goes out, the sump pump won't work. Plus, I'll probably be asleep, so won't be monitoring it.
