Keep An Eye Out For Hurricane Irene!
Yes, here we go again get ready for the BIG one? Hey we never know but all I can ask is watch your local news or go to http://www.weather.gov/ and follow the weather for your area.
Make sure you have your supplies and get your home ready just in case. Dig out your shutters or plywood and have it all ready just in case you need to move quickly to secure your home and family.
Yes, I know it’s been awhile since the real hurricane has hit Florida at least on the west coast. But as we learned with hurricane Charley it can move right at the last minute and hit our area. So it pays to be prepared!
Sarasota County has a great web site about “Know Your Zone” and here is the link http://www.scgov.net/kyz/KnowYourZone.aspx this will be very important because in case of an emergency you will know the shelter in your area that is open. Just go to this link and put in your address and it will show you the “Know Your Zone” for your personal address.
It gives a ton of information that you will need for you to make an informed decision for you and your family.
Sarasota County has done a great job this year updating this site and the information is priceless when you need it. So do a little upfront home work now because it could save your life later.
I believe no matter how prepared you are you can’t win against mother nature when it decides to unleash the powerful winds that we have seen in the past. No matter how well we build our products we get tested every time we have a storm or hurricane.
Sure we are gaining ground everyday with the excellent testing the labs do to make sure our manufactures build the best products to install on your homes.
But only you can make sure you as a family are prepard for the worst but hope for the best.
Make sure you favorite our site because we will keep you posted daily about Hurricane Irene.
