On Hurricane Preparedness

Weather events are unpredictable. You may know a storm is headed your way but not precisely where it will strike. At a particular time, the authorities may say a hurricane will make landfall a couple of hundred miles from you, but in the actual event, it may turn and land right on top of you. If you live near the coast or even a low-lying area where nothing blocks storms making their way inland, the best course of action is evacuating to a location well away from the danger zone. Yes, it is inconvenient and certainly much effort, but your property is not worth as much an your life.
