How will you protect your self from hurricane IRENE

i need ideas

Chill out in my basement and play black ops. Duhh.

I am in NC going through the first of this right now, and Ive prepared supply of food/water/lights/etc -- stay away from windows -- do not go outside or drive for any reason! --- watch the windows periodically for flooding, trees down, etc.. -- and listen closely...

Many times hurricanes cause lots of tornadoes to pop up around it, so even when the hurricane is gone, tornadoes may be behind it. Stay inside!

I'm an EMT, so I'll be stationed at the building for a few days. So I personally don't have to have plans, but you should have nonperishable foods and water available and just hunker down and ride out the storm.

stay inside. eat. sleep.. play video games. watch tv. be a nerd. just get bottled water, galloned water, snacks, sandwich stuff, batteries, candles, flashlights, etc. and youll be fine. good luck.

I don't actually believe that there's gonna be a hurricane, but if there is, i hope it doesn't hit my house at Brooklyn, N.Y. I'm just gonna go through the day as usual.

stock up on food and water. have flashlights. take in anything in your yard that might fly away. read a book. watch the storm. listen to your ipod. go on a laptop. watch a movie if possible.

@Mari: Basements are a baaaaaaaaad idea. Why?

Water flows downhill. Into your basement.

I'm going to stop listening to Faux News and get off weather.com because they're making Irene sound like Katrina's twin sister.
