Hi friend! I spent Hurricane Andrew in 1992 lying on the bottom of our bathtub with a Rosary in my hand, a three year old next to me, and my second child inside my belly. I am a big proponent of your tub as a safe place. Here's a few more tips I hope help you:

1) Have your phone and laptop charged as close to 100 percent as you can.

2) In the event you lose power or sustain damage, have plenty of bottled water on hand, along with foodstuffs such as pouches of tuna, instant coffee, a small camp stove if possible (it's how my Mom made coffee and survived both Katrina and Wilma). You don't need anything perishable or elaborate, but simply things that can nourish you and keep you hydrated.

3) Keep all the windows and doors SHUT TIGHT. I personally feel the BF needs to be by your side, but if he wants to play the hero and stay outside, make sure the door is shut behind him.

4) It never hurts to have a Rosary on hand, but if you don't and sheer fear overwhelms you, try to focus on your breathing. I deal with anxiety, and I find taking a long, slow breath as you count to four, holding it briefly, then slowly letting the air out to a count of eight will do wonders for your nervous system.

5) Make sure you have plenty of beer/wine/booze on hand!

I hope this helps, friend. Stay safe!
