Across the globe – the earth seems under attack… from its own forces! Massive earth quakes, devastating droughts and horrific tornadoes have caused billions of dollars in damage and taken thousands of lives. Do all of these events give us any indication of the kind of hurricane season we are to expect? What plans are in place by the city and county for evacuation or survival? And what can we be doing now to secure our property and safety? Bottom line, how are we to best weather the current storm season?
