tropical storms: Hurricane Preparedness - 06/09/09 02:26 PM
Hurricane season is upon us and will be with us for the next six months. Even though we are expecting a mild season, we still need to be prepared for the unfortunate occurrence of a catastrophe. This can occur without a hurricane upon us as we've recently seen from our recent rains and ensuing flooding.
With that said, here are some important phone numbers and a checklist of items that you should have stocked and handy.
- Assess your home for vulnerable areas, such as roofs, windows, garage doors, landscaping
- Battery-operated radio with weather band
- Bedding … (2 comments)

tropical storms: Water, Water, Everywhere..... - 10/29/08 12:29 PM
As you can probably determine, this basically used to be dry land, or at least drier. Tropical Storm Faye's pattern of continually dropping enormous amounts of rain on the area, still shows signs of its powerful wrath. I had wanted to take these pics when I took the previous ones, but at that time was on the wrong side of SR 417.

tropical storms: 2008 Hurricane Season – Create a Disaster Plan - 06/04/08 07:31 PM
In the past couple of posts, we’ve discussed Creating a Disaster Supply Kit and having a Pet Plan. While these are necessary to have, they really won’t mean anything if you do not have a Disaster Plan in place. This is just one more item to help all remain calm during this time.
Since we already have a Disaster Supply Kit and a Pet Plan, we now need to focus on when will implement these whether it is just yourself, maybe a spouse or partner, or even a family. One of the things that needs to be discussed is the types … (9 comments)

tropical storms: 2008 Hurricane Season – Pet Plan - 06/03/08 07:09 PM
It’s easy with all the running around and chaos to sometimes forget about your pets or at least the planning for their safety as well. I was planning on writing this post a little later on, but with the mentions about our pets, I thought I’d do it now.
Here’s a rule of thumb to think about. If it’s dangerous for you, then it’s dangerous for your pets. Didn’t Katrina and others teach us that? If you wait for the last minute and don’t plan, you will most likely leave your pet thinking that they’ll be alright and that you’ll … (12 comments)

tropical storms: 2008 Hurricane Season – Create a Disaster Supply Kit - 06/02/08 06:00 PM
Don’t wait until you hear warnings of a hurricane/tropical storm approaching. Unfortunately, too many people do and are rushing to Home Depot, Lowes, not to forget all of the grocery stores in search of supplies. You can and should be stocked up on this beforehand and in many instances the cost will be less to you because once the supplies start getting low, the prices rise.
Let’s first look at the necessary list of items and then we’ll discuss this a little further:
Water – at least 1 gal per person per day for 3 – 7 days.
Food – for … (9 comments)

tropical storms: Hurricane Season 2008 Is Here! - 06/01/08 06:17 PM
Yes, today is the first day of the 2008 Hurricane Season which lasts for the next six months. The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that it predicts we will have a ‘near normal or above normal Atlantic hurricane season.’ Talk about ambiguity. I trust them to track the storms, but don’t put much weight on their predictions. I think they’ve been more often incorrect in their predictions.
The 2008 tropical storm names are:
Arthur Bertha Cristobal Dolly Edouard Fay Gustav Hanna Ike Josephine Kyle Laura Marco Nana Omar Paloma Rene Sally Teddy Vicky Wilfred
In the event of … (10 comments)
