Definitely, take your birds into the storm shelter with you.
...em..oh, yeah, you don't get tornados, like WE do in the Midwest, where we only have maybe, 15 minutes to prepare!!!!
Please, Please, take ANY warnings to evacuate, if it's necessary this hurricane season. Otherwise, prep for storm surge, which might mean to evacuate.
In the Midwest we take it for granted that you might lose everything in one afternoon. Did you know that the National Weather Service REWROTE the Fujita scale because new buildings aren't as study as they used to be?

Tornado classifications run from 40 mph to 379 mph.
Hurricanes begin at 74 mph, then go to, supposedly, 155 mph, according to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale:

(No one is quite sure how high the sustained winds were for Hurricane Camille.)
BTW, thanks chickenbottom, for the history lesson on named Tropical Storms. I think that if they begin to run out of names from A to M, they might consider taking the alphabet backwards. My 26 yr old daughter, Wilma was initially thrilled to her name used for a storm, then appalled that it was so devestating.
