During the Hurricane
- Find shelter immediately and evacuate motor vehicles or motor homes. The safest place is an inside room or the center of a room.
- To reduce pressure, open a window or door on the opposite side of your house facing the wind. Then stay away from all windows.
- Turn off electricity if flooding begins and keep the refrigerator door closed to conserve food.
- Beware of the calm "eye" of the storm that can pass over your home, causing the wind to drop to near calm for as long as a half-hour. Stay indoors during this time because the wind will still return and possibly with greater force.
