I don't know why I haven't thought of this before but it popped in my mind this morning.
What do you do (if anything) about your rain gutters to prepare them for a hurricane? It seems like it would be easy for them to fly off or get damaged.

Re: Rain Gutters
I'm not an expert by any means, but have you seen the nails they use for gutters? They are huge, probably 6-8" long, I don't think you need to do anything to prepare them for high winds.

Re: Rain Gutters
On most newer homes, long screws are used now instead of the long nails which should help their stability in high winds.
