It's been a quiet hurricane season so far; not a hint or whisper of a Katrina or Ike. Unfortunately, most of out memories are short-lived.Don't fall into this trap, folks. Prepare now, now, I tell you! Don't be one of the Gomers standing in line at Home Depot.
There are many things you can do to prepare now. First and foremost is getting your supplies together for protecting your windows.
For most folks of frugal means, this means 1/2" plywood. The best way to secure them is with Plylox hurricane clips.

With luck, we'll dodge the bullet this year. Statistically, this is a good probability. But like the old commercial says, "It's not nice to fool with mother nature!"
