Prepare Your Home For Possible Early Hurricane Season

Experts Predict An Earlier Start To This Year's Hurricane Season

The NOAA may be considering changing the start of the hurricane season to May 15th due to early activity in the tropics as of recent. In fact, there have been early storm developments compared to previous years where the season starts well in mid-July. Now, why would we have an early start of the hurricane season this year? Well, based on recent reports from weather experts, the water temperature has gotten warmer much earlier compared to previous years. This will automatically allow for storms to develop earlier than usual.

How Would An Early Hurricane Season Affect Me?

The National Hurricane Center normally sends out a forecast by June 1^st, this year, they will likely do so by May 15^th. This means that we should also start our preparations a little earlier than usual. There may not be major storms during the first month of the season, however, mother nature has its own plan, and we should always be prepared. Starting your storm preparations early will give you peace of mind and time to focus on your loved ones. So please be sure to protect your windows and your home this hurricane season.

What You Should Do To Prepare For Hurricane Season 2021

• Upgrade your Home Windows: Replace any windows that are cracked, broken, leaking, or over 10 years old with Brand new, energy-efficient Impact Windows from Storm Tight Windows. Hurricane preparation begins with proper window protection.

• Purchase Emergency Supplies: Stock up to non-perishable goods and plenty of water for everyone living in your household. We recommend you start shopping for these products as soon as possible.
