If yall are in Texas, Louisiana, or southern arkansas... or anywhere else that's about to get hammered:
Leave if you can, if not, button up, hunker down, and stay safe. It's gonna get bad. If you're in south Arkansas, this is your first rodeo, and you have not seen winds like you're about to see. Not sustained, at least.
If you want to keep it, take it inside. Trashcans and lawn ornaments will blow away, or worse, cause damage to vehicles and structures. Bring them into a garage or shed if possible.
If you have time, check the trees around your house for limbs that are dead or look likely to fall. As a person who has lived where strong gusts are a thing I can tell you that tree limbs will travel a lot farther than you think in a sustained gale. A lot farther. Find them and, if you have time, pull/cut them down.
Tornadoes are expected. Even without them, winds this high are dangerous. Keep children and pets indoors. Stay indoors yourself. The worst of the winds will be around the eye of the storm, so be extremely wary of sudden calm, as it will be very, very temporary.
Assume that you will lose power. Have flashlights, portae power banks, and candles handy. Have a portable radio on hand for weather broadcasts. Have water stashed away.
If your area has a flash flood warning, move electronics away from the floor, even if you live on a hill.
This is gonna be a bad one. Stay safe, you guys. I mean it.
Yikes

Just had to share that
George Floyd was murdered by police. Just like Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, and far too many others.
White supremacists storm state capitals armed with AR-15 assault rifles and are unharmed. Unarmed people protesting murder by police get tear-gassed and shot with rubber bullets.
Systemic racism is the disease of this country. It must be eradicated. From the white supremacists in the White House to the terrorist vigilantes who hunted down Ahmaud Arbery to the Central Park (Liberal, Buttigieg supporter) woman in New York, calling police on a man who merely asked her to leash her dog.
