I also installed a 500-gallon water tank, bought 5500 W of battery backup and have 1100 W of portable solar panels. I installed hundreds of reinforcing ties and clips including foundation to hip-rafter straps, so I've done all I could to be ready. Now it's down to putting up the window guards. Wish us luck.
