Ah, you've survived so many sheet storms here, this little hurricane will be nothin' but a breeze. Even tho I live in NY I've had the bad fortune to have been down in FL and SC for 2 hurricanes (Andrew and Matthew) and one EF1 tornado up here. Hunker down and watch the weather channel. Good luck but you'll be fine though you could be without power for a few days. If you're going to live down there and if you own your home, get a standby generator.
EF1? pfffftt
That's when people from Kansas start putting the clothes pins on the picnic table cloth.
