Yes, June 1st is the beginning of the hurricane season here in Louisiana and in the Atlantic. And while hurricanes make for good satellite photography, we are all happy looking at archive images of past hurricanes. The one pictured below is Ivan in 2004.
If you are new to a hurricane area, you should probably take a few minutes to read about hurricane preparedness. This week was actually Hurricane Preparedness Week. For information about what you can do to prepare now and shortly before a storm, visit the National Hurricane Center.
As your Realtor, I also need to remind you to check your insurance and your coverage. If you need to change something, now is the time to do it.
If you are currently in the process of buying a home, make sure you activate (and possibly pay) for your insurance as soon as you can. If your insurance is not in place and a named storm enters the Gulf, you will not be able get coverage and you will not be able to close on your home until the storm is gone.
Wishing everyone a hurricane free hurricane season!
