Yes, this is a Q Win. But we are family and now a lot of Florida pedes are facing a potentially dangerous storm. Some are new Floridians and have no idea of how evacuations work here or may need other help from us experienced Floridians.
So I thought we could do a check-in post here and we can move to another Win to support each other, if needed. I lost my old home at Weather Underground when they got bought by Weather Channel so it would be nice to have a bunch of y’all to chat with.
Right now, TropicalTidbits.com is the best online site outside of the National Hurricane Center. Levi has been hurricane forecasting for many years and is excellent. You can see the Euro and GFS models there also.
So if you are a Floridian and are facing the roller coaster of the next five days, go ahead and say hi!
Do you live in a place that gets hurricanes? What if the window breaks and that glass goes into your home while the storm rages on?

That's incorrect.
If you board the inside, and the window breaks, the glass is outside of the house instead of potentially shattering and being blown around the inside of the house.

Now do you actually have experience surviving hurricanes? Or are you not even from that region?
It would be extra strange if you're trying to poke holes in this argument with no prior experience, and it doesn't apply to you.
Why not board both sides in that case?
People do this as well.
Many times, it comes down to time and resources available. Just look at the pictures of people barricading their windows with junk.
I have to direct you to the same questions as the previous commenter:
