If you have been watching the weather, you know Southwest Florida is in the center of the latest hurricane cone. The infamous cone of uncertainty. Preparing for approaching storm Ian is something to consider as the storm gets closer. Sunday night, Ian became a full blown hurricane. It is expected to strengthen even more once it gets into the gulf.
Keep checking back and we will keep you updated.
Now, if you are a longtime resident, you are probably saying “I got this.” But it never hurts to take inventory of supplies and such.
There are so many new residents to Southwest Florida. If that is you, it is important for you to think ahead a little bit. The big thing here is not to panic. ANYTHING can happen between now and the beginning of next week when the weather is predicted to hit us. Meteorologists tell us the storm can weaken, it can wobble and veer away from us. However, it can strengthen and head right toward our coastline.
So the waiting game begins. Always the fun part. First thing is first, double check basic supplies that you might need if the power goes out. Next, check the supplies for a hurricane party. It’s a right of passage for Floridians.
