I love going to garage sales. This past weekend, I went out garage sailing just for fun. These things now live in our garage, taking up space that we don’t have! It can be free service as well.

Keep all trees and shrubs well trimmed so they are more wind resistant. Reinforce your garage doors; if wind enters a garage, it can cause dangerous and expensive structural damage. Cover all of your home’s windows with pre-cut ply wood or hurricane shutters to protect your windows from high winds. Turn off propane tanks.
