Opening the windows during a hurricane will keep the house from exploding, right?
WRONG. You should keep them closed. The theory behind this storm survival myth is that opening windows will help regulate air pressure. But in reality enough air leaks through the windows to stabilize air pressure. Your best bet? Keep 'em closed and stay away from them.
You only need to protect openings facing the ocean or gulf, right?
NO. Because hurricanes are a moving, rotating storm, winds can come from any direction, which can change rapidly if you are near the eye. Your best bet is to protect windows and doors on all sides of your home.
You should tape glass with a big X, right?
NOT TRUE! Taping glass does nothing to address the main point of protection – keeping the glass in its frame and securely attached to the home.
http://www.disastersafety.org/text.asp?id=know_mythsThere are only six lists of tropical storms and hurricane names that continue to rotate. Usually the names repeat every six years. The lists only change when there is a hurricane so devastating,
the name is retired because using it again could be considered insensitive. The name is then not used for at least ten years.

Christopher Moreau was drinking beer in his backyard when he noticed the likes of the Virgin Mary in some tree bark. He says he thinks it's a blessing. Chris says the sight raises the hair on your neck, it gives you chills. When he showed his mother-in-law she became overwhelmed and cried. Some of the neighbors ... just started shaking." Neil MacCarthy, of the Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto, says the church has no plans to authenticate the tree.
