Plastic bags are fine for sealing the intake and exhaust? Sounds surprisingly easy

Specifying the angle for tying it down diagonally is a nice practical detail

Didn't know leaving the cover on is more dangerous — taking mine off.

Feels like we say this every year, and every year I forget to prep for typhoons
