Hurricane season begins June 1.

If you don't have a weather radio, it might be a good time to buy one. Don't wait until the storms come on us or there won't be any to buy. You can find them at Walmart and Best buy and even the drug stores have them. Take the weather radio to any fire station and they will program it for you.

Sign up for weather warnings on your phones. This is important because those of us with Direct TV and other dish networks will lose reception with bad storms.

In today's Daily Sun there was a whole section on Hurricane preparedness, including stocking up on non perishible foods such as bottled soda and water, peanut butter, nuts, granola bars, pet food, etc. and being sure to have a non electric can opener, candles matches.

Remember to save that section. It was really helpful.

Put flashlights and battery powered radio in walk in closets or any small windowless rooms...now.

Please everyone add your suggestions and don't worry too much. We are relatively safe in the central part of this peninsula from hurricanes but not safe from lightning and tornadoes.
