❎MYTH: We haven’t had a storm yet, so we’ll be fine this year. ✅FACT: A quiet start to hurricane season does not mean a quiet finish. We’re approaching the peak of Atlantic hurricane season which typically occurs between mid-August and mid-October, with the statistical peak arriving Sept. 10. 🌀Some of the storms that have had the greatest impact on our region in recent years—including Irma, Ian, Helene and Milton—arrived in September or October. Don’t let a quiet stretch create a false sense of security. Review your plan, check your emergency supplies, know your evacuation level and continue monitoring trusted weather sources.
