hurricane season is a couple of months away, and if you are new to hurricane country a couple of suggestions..

if you have a frame house, a good cordless 18v drill and a spare battery/charger is helpful... if you have to board up your windows with plywood, a TorX bit is a lot easier to use single handed than Phillips head...

PlyLoX spring loaded clips work well for a masonry home with recessed windows to hold plywood in place

a blue tarp in case your roof is compromised... some furring strips to hold the tarp against the wind

a can of spray foam insulation in case of a puncture of the roof.... can of roof mastic to make temporary repairs

section of chain with hooks to drag downed limbs out of your roadway

chainsaw or bow saw... don't see many crosscut saws down here
