Right now is probably a good time to:
Start making big ice blocks (we usually fill various large plastic container w/ water & place in empty freezer space)
Make sure you have some cash (esp. small bills & such) for a few days w/out power
Make sure you have fuel for cooking and vehicles
Make sure you know if/when/where you should evacuate, hopefully not needed)
Make sure your "grab'n'go" supplies are ready & updated
Look around outside for things that may fly if there is a big blow...
Empty trash if you have a collection of stuff
Check roof & gutters
Check catchment tank (also look up & around, could any branches or stuff crash into it in a big blow)
KHON has their June "Surviving a Storm" broadcast on the web. This link has the program by segments, and has some really good information & a lot of myth breaking information:
