Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana in 2021, and now in 2022, Hurricane Ian is impacting Florida, with a projected hit on Thursday. Hurricane Charley arrived at 150 mph in 2004, but wind speed isn’t the sole threat of a hurricane. Storm surge and storm tide, life-threatening risks for Florida residents during Hurricane Ian, have prompted a Storm Surge Warning in Tampa. Rising water along the coastline will swell and can invade several miles inland. While you can’t prevent a hurricane from coming, you can take a few actions to prepare for the storm.
Hurricane Tips:
-
-
- Secure your home as best you can.
- Prepare to evacuate.
- If you don’t have permanent storm shutters, the NOAA recommends 5/8” exterior grade or marine plywood.
- If your area didn’t evacuate, find the innermost area of your home away from windows or any other glass that could shatter in the storm.
If your local officials direct you to evacuate, don’t hesitate. Your life means more than any possession.
Have you located your property’s policy?
A hurricane brings immense stress, damage, and chaos. Don’t let the worry of finding your policy add to the burden. Secure your vital documents now; this will save time and headaches after the storm passes and the community begins cleaning up.
