Great advice, however the experts say never leave your windows open during a hurricane. That is an old wives tale. FEMA recommends against it, NOAA recommends against it, MYTHBUSTERS busted the myth, if you google it there are a lot of explanations on why there are no positive outcomes of leaving your windows open and only negative ones. The best advice is to board them up....
I'll tell hubby! Plus he loves myth busters so he wont mind watching it. He went through the Andover tornado. Saw whole neighborhoods just gone. He worked at Boeing and saw them lose 3/4 of a hanger.
And yes genny etc....but I didnt go into that whole portion as some people cant afford that... and others got theirs last year. But good time to check oil, etc. They might be on sale right now at Home Depot with Father's day on the way.
The duct tape wasn't for the windows. The duct tape can be a first aid item, can hold something together in the aftermath, etc.
