Forecast isn't getting any better.
"Extreme" threat level. Lovely. I'm not even sure how I should be preparing.

Re: Forecast isn't getting any better.
Also, definitely stock up on water and edibles. That was another thing- until Ike, I didn't realize how crazy it would be to get food. We were really naive going into it, and were thankful for my parents for thinking ahead. Whenever I left work the Friday before Ike hit, the forecast was still saying the hurricane was supposed to hit Corpus- which is a few hundred miles away from here. Darn things are so freakin' unpredictable.
I would also grab a tarp and maybe some boards and and plastic dropcloths. When the tree went through our house, my H made a "lake" by stacking boards in a big rectangle and draping the dropcloths over them. He used buckets to discard the water into the toilet. It really minimized the water damage to our house. I can't help with the basement issue as I live in basement-less land. And the tarp is important because we were able to cover the hole a long time before the blue roof folks came around.
