While areas around the southern tip may see some afternoon thunderstorms, be thankful for the reprieve from any serious tropical storm threat over the last several days but experience has taught us that may not last much longer as we head into the latter part of August.

Take this opportunity to go over your hurricane prep check lists, refill or replace any outdated or consumed items and take a tour around your property to check for any possible hazards that will be need to be addressed before the next major storm system moves in.

It’s also a good time to check on the location and status of local emergency shelters and while you’re at, remind your neighbors to go over their prep lists as well.
