It's just "batten down the hatches" time, to use a nautical analogy, and you close, tighten up, or nail down anything on the outside of your house or in your yard that you can. Then you lie low and wait for the worst. There were very high winds (120+mph) and rain so hard that I could barely see my hand in front of my face, and lots of downed trees and flooding. I've never seen so much crap lying on the ground before when it was over. We didn't have any home damage because our house is made of concrete. But a lot of Filipinos lost their homes because they tend to build with light materials (bamboo, wood, corrugated tin).
