All of this is excellect advice - and I say this as a resident of central Florida since 1985, having lived through several hurricanes (the last being Irma).

Making ice is really important. Even if you use just tap water, fill any empty plastic containers with water and freeze them.

And even if you think it's weird to use as a container, use it. I've used empty vitamin and pill bottles in the past, as well as empty water and protein drink bottles. The smaller sizes fit great within the little nooks and crannies between the foods in your freezer and will help keep it cold.

Any excess container ice you make can go into the refrigerator. You can also put it in coolers holding perishables like milk, deli meats, etc. so you don't have to open the refrigerator door.

You can always melt the container ice in your houseplant pots after the storm, so as not to waste the water.

It's also good to have a designated safe room in case of tornadoes. Having a full tank of gas, plus extra for generators, as well as batteries, are givens.

Lastly, you guys will be fine. Don't buy into the storm hysteria of the media. Just use common sense and stay safe.
