Greetings everybody! Thanks so much for visiting. With the arrival of September, meteorological autumn has begun in the northern hemisphere and spring starts south of the equator. We’re reaching the peak season for hurricane potential and the Atlantic has a few areas of concern that are worth watching. While preparedness supplies are plentiful and the Atlantic is somewhat quiet (for the moment), now is the time to get prepared for a tropical storm or hurricane. I’ve plenty of hurricane preparedness information for you. Along with the latest US Drought Monitor update there are several good reads, so let’s get started.
