Hang in there Susan. Keep yourself and your family safe, material things
can be replaced.
If you board up your windows, make a few "peep holes" to allow pressure
release. A big blow on the board might push it inwards enough that teh
sudden pressure increase in the "pocket" between board and window might
crack the window. Something I just learned a while ago, I'm trying to
floridanize myself here

FL as you may know already.. so I have an interest)
