As we have entered the Hurricane season – mother nature has sure shown us she is unpredictable. Our area has been drenched with heavy rainfall – cooler temperatures and flash flooding for several weeks now. Some may wonder, will summer ever actually arrive and stay? Being prepared for hurricane season should not be taken lightly.  Make sure everyone in your household knows and understands your hurricane plan and your evacuation route in the event a Hurricane is predicted in your area. Follow your local weather stations for up-to-date information on potential storms that are predicted in your area.

Prepare for power outages.  Keep a supply of batteries, candles, drinking water and non-perishable food items in the event your power is out for more than a few hours.  Pick up a few items on each grocery trip because we all know the demand for these supplies can and will become an issue in the event a storm is predicted in your area.
