Now is the time to prepare your home for a storm. Properly preparing your home can mean the difference between minor damage & complete destruction:
✅ Trim & anchor down trees or foliage
✅ Reinforce the garage door & tracks
✅ Tie down any free-standing fixtures in your yard
Tropical Storm Josephine just formed in the Atlantic. Earliest “J” named storm ever. Current Atlantic predictions project another 11 named storms and going to the Greek alphabet for only the second time ever.
