Having been through 4 hurricanes now in 2 states, I've learned the following:
1) Don't bother filling your tub with water, it will drain out by morning.
2) You have beer? Go buy that much more again. You will burn through the first half during the 8 hour build up, waiting for the storm to actually hit (I missed the worst of Ike because we passed out, after drinking and watching the news for 10 straight hours).
3) Go outside at least once, everyone needs to actually feel 100+ mph winds beating you. It's an experience.
4) You and your neighbors will become BEST FREAKING FRIENDS. Until the power comes back. Then everyone slinks back into the house and never speaks to each other again.
More seriously, see if you can still get a crank radio from Amazon delivered, when Ike hit the only news we had access to was the one person with an FM radio. The new crank radios are $30-50, have flashlights and some have USB chargers.
