And we're off!

Even though it's not the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, Tropical Storm Alma popped up in the Pacific. Just a subtle reminder that our hurricane season is getting ready to gear up. We're officially up and running on Sunday.

These past two years have been very nice to us, let's hope for another good one. But I'll never forget my first hurricane season in South Florida where I got to meet Dennis, Katrina, Rita, and the star of the show: Wilma.

Wilma reminds me of just how important it is to take hurricane preparations seriously and stock up on food, water, flashlights, etc. Even if you are on a tight budget, you can stock up. There is a really nice Hurricane Shopping guide, compliments of Broward County. They break up the shopping into eight weeks so it won't completely kill you financially.
