Here are some Hurricane tips I thought worth mentioning that come from years of experience. They are not in order of importance, and I could have added 20 more but did not want to make the video too long. The video that is included was taken by me the day before hurricane Andrew and the morning it came ashore in south Florida, I have it on my channel with the audio if you are interested.
My favorite weather tracking map for hurricanes is here, you can bookmark it for future use.

if you have never been in a hurricane before and want to know what it really is like, I have thought about it and here is my best answer. Imagine you enter a dark room and turn on a light switch that turns on a very bright light that lights up the entire room. Now imagine that the light that fills up the room is a wind of 150 miles an hour that is as steady and unwavering as the light was, and it is so loud you can not hear yourself scream. You can barely keep your eyes open facing the wind and get blown away unless you hold onto something. Now go to the switch to turn it off the way you turn off light in a room but  realize there is no turning off the wind. The hurricane wind shrieks and  continues to blow like a freight train for hours. That is what a very strong hurricane is like. It is unstoppable and surrounds you just like light in a dark room, it is everywhere and you can't turn it off.

I would be happy to hear from you guys your hurricane tips.
