In the meantime, the United States Department of Defense have provided the seven tips on how to prepare for a storm:

1. Monitor local radio and TV for updates. The path of the storm could change quickly and unexpectedly.

2. Hunker down and take shelter.

3. Communicate with friends and family.

4. Keep away from windows. Close storm shutters; flying glass from broken windows could injure you.

5. Prepare for power outages. Turn your refrigerator or freezer to the coldest setting, and open only when necessary. If you lose power, food will last longer.

6. Storm surges pose a great threat to safety and can cut off potential evacuation routes. If you’re told to evacuate, don’t wait.

7. Avoid driving through flooded areas. Almost half of flash flooding deaths occur in vehicles.
