If you can pick it up, put it up!

That cute patio chair? Projectile.
That garden gnome? Projectile.
Your trampoline? Definitely trying to leave the neighborhood.

Strong winds can turn yard items into flying hazards fast, so bring in anything that isn’t anchored down before the storm rolls through.
