Coping with the aftermath of an intense storm season
VEN if you don't live in a
coastal community, you
likely know that 2017
has been an unusually
active hurricane season. And it's
not over yet. The Atlantic hurricane
season begins on June 1 and continues all the way until the last day of
November, with September historically being the most active month. That's
five solid months where there will be
storms in the Atlantic. Whether or not
they make landfall is what concerns
us, for the most part. Regrettably,
this year three Category 4 or 5 hurricanes have done just that in the US.
On August 25th, Hurricane Harvey
slammed into Texas at a devastating

Category 5 storm that struck Puerto
Rico in September - the latest in a
devastating Atlantic hurricane season.
The work that goes into hurricane
prep, along with the anxiety of the
waiting, weigh heavily on all in the
storm's projected path. It's called the
"Cone of Uncertainty" and it means
the storm can hit anywhere within,
for example, a 400-mile path. We've
also seen storms take a last-minute
turn, pounding areas that weren't
even in the projected path.
So, in typical Florida fashion, we
begin a week of hurricane prep. It's all
people talk about. It's the only thing
on the news. Some proactive people
are right on their preparation, gathering supplies immediately, while
others (a lot of others) wait till the
last minute. Several days before we
all have to hunker down and ride out
the storm, home improvement stores
are stripped of plywood, 4 x 4 posts,
generators, bottled water and flashlights. And don't even try to find a
bag of beef jerky (a hurricane staple).
