Hurricane approaching Florida

Never been in a hurricane so I have know idea. We get some nasty storms up here and sometimes not often but soft ball size hail and tornadoes but not an all day problem like a hurricane.
Charlie was 140 mph sustained winds. The next day we went out side and color was sucked out of everything. It was like a black and white photo. We had a pontoon boat in our back yard and the 20k sq. ft. of pavers for my driveway that had been delivered the month before were pretty much gone. Our house had just been completed so it was to new code and survived pretty well. Neighbors not so much.
