3. Yeah, I'd like to move, or at least buy a set of roll-up shutters.
I picked up all the loose items in the yard, but not all the neighbors did.

Have not boarded windows, because we are too old and tired and I don't think you can hire people to do that stuff, at least when the hurricane is on its way.

If (knock on wood) we make it through this one OK, we are at least going to permanently seal up the useless (except for letting wind in) windows in the attic.
