Countdown

I bet most of you haven't thought about this in a while, but guess what is just a mere 60 days away?

Hurricane Season! And as usual, the team out in Colorado is predicting a more active than usual season again this year.

All of us here in Florida remember the 2004 season of Charley, Frances, Jeanne, and Ivan. The rest of the country undoubtedly remembers the 2005 season of Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. But ever since then, we've pretty much been spared, even with the annual "more active than usual" predictions. A lot of us have gone back to our complacent ways.

Hopefully, we'll be spared again this year. But just in case we're not, I suggest that we all start preparing our hurricane kits now. (Well, maybe not those of you who don't live in hurricane prone areas.) Better safe than sorry.
