Hurricane season is almost here, so this year I will be doing a lot of sharing of tropical information. Why? Because and I still want to have the conversations. Let’s see who follows along.
South Florida's rainy season naturally comes with the increased threat of #flooding. Also remember that #lightning peaks during the rainy season. Important safety tips below as we enter the rainy season. #SoFla#flwx#swfl#rainyseason
Look at your address, if it says "Florida" you need flood insurance. For more information about flood insurance check out the National Flood Insurance Program website https://t.co/BZo2Gis7vh
Insurance agent once told me I didn’t need flood insurance, even though risk isn’t zero. I demanded to have it anyway. I’m the one paying tens of thousands if my house floods. Less than 15% in US have it. About 25% of flood claims are outside of high risk areas. #HurricaneStrong
Schedule your annual insurance checkup. Just like with your dentist, but less painful. In fact, you might find ways to save on premiums and fix any gaps in your coverage. Demand flood insurance, not part of regular policies, but purchased through your agent. #HurricaneStrong
The official 2017 @NHC_Atlantic verification report was issued today- one notable fact is Atlantic track records were set at all time periods last year! 👍 https://t.co/riois8mSFF
Even if you don’t get a signal right after a storm, you might need your phone for all kinds of other things. Texting might be first to start working as minimal - maybe even temporary - networks could be up fairly early in the aftermath. #HurricaneStrong https://t.co/4csfldP1kM

Every one a late August, early September storm. Most hitting Florida. It’s not about the frequency. It’s about the strength, and how long conditions last. Andrew was fast and strong, but storms that sit over an area for an extended period of time (Harvey) can be just as damaging https://t.co/02n2hwbssC
