Growing up, from June until November, we always had a Hurricane Tracking Chart hanging in our kitchen. My daddy affixed it to a cork board and used color coordinated pins to track the storms with the radio as his only source for information. As we do on the coast, this morning I checked online to see about this tropical storm that has been brewing out in the Gulf. Oh Cindy, we hope to not meet you! But in all seriousness, even if you’ve been through it 60+ times, hurricane season preparedness is a good idea. While tracking the storm I found this fantastic PDF guide at the NOAA (National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration) site.
We are already having some weather here, although our neighbors to the west might get the worst of it. As always we are hoping for the best!
