The peak wind for my area is predicted to be 97 mph. That doesn't sound that bad, but I don't really know how fast that is. I am assuming that can down some power lines.
97 mph gusts means, as far as I understand it, that you should probably board your windows.
That kind of turmoil brings down trees.
Not trying to panic you, but maybe you should look a little more into how bad that's supposed to be so you can prepare? That way if I'm wrong, no big deal, but if I'm right you can get ready?
I had a tree hit my house in a windstorm about 5 years ago. Yanked my powerline straight off the house. I had to have $$electrician$$ come and fix it. Thankfully, homeowner's insurance paid for it, and putting us up at a hotel until we were powered up again. It all worked out, but I hope you don't go through all that, though.
97 will knock down trees, blow down power lines & explode transformers. We had 3 hurricanes & Hurricane Frances was enough to do a tremendous amount of damage although we didn't get a direct hit and we weren't in the right front quadrant. I've been thinking about you when I saw the track change.
