Not true. I've seen hurricanes turn many masonary block buildings into
a pile of rubble like so many Leggos... in fact the more ridgid the
structure the more likely it will be blown away.

With surviving hurricanes there are too many variables, each instance
requires decisons based on many different factors... but if there is
any chance your structure will get blown away or become flooded then
the best thing is to depart inland to higher ground... and in the US
the very last thing you need to take with you is food. Tying your food
to a tree is something only a deranged mental midget would conjure
up... because if you are going to remain on the premises then the best
place for food (and everything else) is exactly where you normally keep
it... there is far more chance you will become blown away or drown well
before anything happens to your fridge. Really, if remaining at home
the only thing you need to concern yourself with is having a supply of
water... both potable and for flushing toilets... at the first warning
fill your bathtubs, buckets, and large cook pots. And have your
vehicles fully gassed. Like I said, food is the very last thing to be
concerned with... there is nowhere in the US within a two hour drive of
hurricane areas where one can't find all the food they could possibly
want... anyone who can't last two hours without stuffing their face has
much bigger problems than surviving a little wind. "Andy" is the
second most common name for institutionalized psychotics, Albert is
first.
