OMG…it's arrived….Hurricane season runs between June 1 and November 30. The predictions advise that the upcoming season could be a dynamic one with the estimates of around 14 -23 tropical storms, 8 - 14 hurricanes, and 3 - 7 major hurricanes. This is because of weak upper winds and exceptionally warm water in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. It's time now to start preparations to lessen the risks to your possessions and family. Begin by getting rid of dead trees, limbs, and discarded stuff in your yard. Secure loose-fitting gutters and shutters. If you plan to protect your home windows with plywood, measure and cut the wood right away and have it ready to mount. Think about acquiring flood insurance since your homeowners and renter’s policies will not cover damages from raising water. We have had lots of flooding in storm surge and flood prone areas but also in regions that have never flooded in the past. However, flood insurance is required to be in effect 30 days before the policy becomes legitimate and will not be available for purchase when a tropical system enters the Gulf of Mexico. I have loads of information to assist in your planning so visit again, there is more to come!
