Hello 2023! New years tradtions revolve around making changes and resolutions. I know I have made some for myself. Now the challenge is to stick with it.
2022 was a whirlwind. I am not real sure how to sum it all up, so I don’t think I am going to bother. After all….that is the “old” and 2023 is the “new”. I hope that everyone and their families are doing well and that 2023 will be all everyone is hoping for.

As we exit the month of May, we have come full circle. After an already eventful 2021 with record setting storms in February causing massive damages and loss of power state wide to the more localized hail event in April that again damaged many homes right here in our neighborhood, we now enter hurricane season.
The Atlantic hurricane season extends from June 1 through November 30.
2021 Hurricane Prediction
For 2021, a likely range of 13 to 20 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 6 to 10 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3 to 5 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher) is expected. NOAA provides these ranges with a 70% confidence.
Make a plan
The time to prepare for a hurricane is before the season begins, when you have the time and are not under pressure. If you wait until a hurricane is on your doorstep, the odds are that you will be under duress and will make the wrong decisions. Take the time now to write down your hurricane plan. Know who issues evacuation orders for your area, determine locations on where you will ride out the storm, and start to get your supplies now. Being prepared before a hurricane threatens makes you resilient to the hurricane impacts of wind and water. It will mean the difference between being a hurricane victim or a hurricane survivor.
