Do you live on the coast? If it's just a tropical storm then there's not much to worry about, just a bunch of rain and it will be pretty breezy. Biggest danger is tornadoes, if you get a tornado warning then you should take cover. Otherwise, just ride it out.
I live about 200 miles inland, but I've been on the coast during a TS and it's really not that bad. Even a Cat 1 or even 2 hurricane you can ride out pretty well. Stay safe!
