re: Your Hurricane Preparation - what worked, what could be improved and any tips

Worked:

Turned A/C, freezer, and fridge colder several hours before I expected to lose power.

Cooked as much of the seafood and meat in freezer as possible before losing power.

Got extra ice as late as possible just before first squalls hit.

Kept doors closed as much as possible to keep indoor humidity much lower than outdoor and did not open windows. Slept reasonably well for 4 nights without a generator. Having 9 foot ceilings and a well-insulated house helps. 65% humidity and 81-82 degrees is bearable.

Used outdoor gas grill to cook defrosted meat that was not cooked earlier. Can also cook some seafood this way.

Most importantly, stuffed towels at bottom of outside doors to keep water driven by wind from wetting floors.
