ORLANDO -- In some ways, preparing for a hurricane is a lot like getting set for a basketball game.

Despite all the forecasting, predicting and analyzing that goes on before the event, no one ultimately knows what the final results will be until it’s over.

With Hurricane Irene gaining strength and potentially affecting almost 80 million people from Florida to Massachusetts, the various personalities of OrlandoMagic.com thought they’d share their ultimate survival guide in the event of a serious storm hitting the Orlando area.

Although this advice won’t keep you safe, protect your home or provide any essential service whatsoever, it will keep you entertained while you hunker down in your dwelling.

For this scenario, each OrlandoMagic.com celebrity was asked to provide three items that they would absolutely need to have for entertainment purposes while they batten down the hatches and wait out a hurricane.

So without further adieu, here’s each member's list:
