Tie down grills and anything else that you can't move inside, and move everything inside that you can. That's about all you can do. Cat 2 force winds shouldn't break windows, but flying debris can, I guess. I won't bother. I don't know whether the old advice about opening windows a crack to "equalize pressure" is a wives' tale or not. I don't do it.
If you live close enough to the water to even wonder about being washed away, it might be a good idea to make plans to evacuate.
Oh, and stuff in the freezer? Won't do much good if your power is out more than a coupla days. Dry good, canned goods, that's what's good to have on hand. Stuff you can eat cold if you have an electric range, and no gas or charcoal grill.
