Great article! I totally agree that just having a flashlight and batteries isn’t enough when preparing for a hurricane. Living near the coast, I've learned the hard way that you need to think ahead. Those "spaghetti models" are a lifesaver; they give you a better picture of what’s coming your way.
And yeah, the media does tend to hype things up. I always remind folks to do their own research and keep an eye on those models. It’s all about being informed and ready.
Storm surge is the real deal—more dangerous than we often realize. Packing your vehicle early is such a smart move. I’ve got my go-bag ready to grab and go when the time comes.
It’s not just about surviving the winds but the whole situation. Better to be over-prepared than underprepared! 🌊 Stay safe, everyone!
