Just want to remind you that when the Hurricane crosses the 20 degree Lat and 30 long lines Insurance companies stop writing policies that being the case it looks like that will happen sometime early Friday morning. Please pass this information on immediately to any of your clients who may have a potential closing this week.
Lets pray that we don't have to deal with Hurricane.
Familiarize yourself with the terms that are used to identify a hurricane.
- A hurricane watch means a hurricane is possible in your area. Be prepared to evacuate. Monitor local radio and television news outlets or listen to NOAA Weather Radio for the latest developments.
- A hurricane warning is when a hurricane is expected in your area. If local authorities advise you to evacuate, leave immediately.
- Hurricanes are classified into five categories based on their wind speed, central pressure, and damage potential. Category Three and higher hurricanes are considered major hurricanes, though Categories One and Two are still extremely dangerous and warrant your full attention.
