Storms above the NorthEast! What a view!

Hurricane Season has officially begun. The Atlantic Hurricane Season is from June 1^st through November 30^th. When most people think of hurricanes, places like Florida and Texas come to mind, but here in Connecticut we have experienced hurricanes to various severity. The last hurricane to reach landfall in CT dates all the way back to 1985!

While we experience hurricanes less frequently and severely than most southern states, we also experience; distinguishable to a Hurricane only by the wind speed and wind temps; tropical storms and coastal storms, lovingly referred to as Nor’Easters!

Tropical Storms are yearly occurrences and routinely cause widespread power outages, fallen trees, and property damage! Legendary basketball coach John Wooden said, “Failing to prepare is preparing to fail”, with that spirit in mind here’s the minimal steps to take in preparation of Connecticut’s storm season.

• Have an emergency kit ready
  • Be sure to include- flashlights, water, first aid kit, and other essential items
• Prepare for power outages
• Keep yard clean
• Keep emergency information close by- emergency contact info, insurance info, health info. etc.
