-- If your house has real shutters, close them tight and engage the hook to prevent the wind from blowing them open.
-- On a regular house without shutters, cut pieces of plywood to size and nail them to the window frame.
-- Get all toys, chairs, and anything else that is not locked down and put them in a safe place -- ideally a shed that is wired down with hurricane wire (about a $10 investment and approximately 15 minutes).
Edit : make sure you go to the store like home depot before the storm comes and by hard wood and nail them into your windows
What else can I help you with?
Should you leave one window open during a hurricane to prevent your house from exploding?
I believe this advice was originally given as for tornadoes. However, in both cases it is extremely inaccurate. Your house is not going to explode from a massive pressure change if you seal all windows and then one were to break. Instead, damage can be prevented by closing all windows since the windows should hold against lower strength hurricanes/tornadoes. If it's a strong tornado/hurricane, you shouldn't be inside your house. If you can't be away or in a basement, a bathroom with no windows in the center of the house is your best bet.

What should you do to protect yourself during a tornado flood or hurricane?
During a flood go to high ground or an upper floor of the building you are in. If you are driving and encounter flooded streets, turn around; don't drown. You cannot always tell how deep the water is or how strong the current is and it does not take much to wash a car away. The procedure for a hurricane is similar to that of a flood, as flooding is the main danger. Get to an upper story or a structure on high ground. Stay inside and avoid windows. If a tornado threatens get to a basement or storm cellar. If none is available get to an interior room or hall on the lowest floor of a sturdy house or building. Stay away from windows.
