If you have been watching the weather, you know Southwest Florida is in the center of a possible hurricane cone. Preparing for approaching storm Ian is something to consider this weekend. As of right now, it’s still a tropical depression. However, meteorologists expect it become a Tropical Storm this weekend and quite likely a full hurricane.
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. While I double check basic supplies that I might need if the power goes out, I also check the supplies for a hurricane party.
