Great list of things to remember.
I will add that when the hurricane is near, the air is unusually thick with humidity. I notice that it gets very still and no sounds of birds (if it's daytime). Then the winds and rains, soon after, the skies clear (eye of the hurricane). Do NOT go out because the backlash of the hurricane is coming.

Additionally, if you cannot find plywood to board up your windows, we use masking tape on the glass making a big X mark. We also keep windows a bit open so the air can flow through the house. Some people use those marine ropes to throw over and secure down their roofs (criss cross) and pound spikes in the ground to secure the ends of the ropes down.

Keep safe!!!
