Have You Become Complacent?

Since the destructive 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, only 4 hurricanes have made a U.S. landfall, all doing so in the western half of the Gulf of Mexico, most notably, September 2008’s Hurricane Ike.

Furthermore, since Hurricane Ike’s destructive rampage, the U.S. has had only a few hurricane “close-calls” the past 2 seasons.

Complacency makes you less attentive, less aware, less able to react when a serious situation presents itself.

As the U.S. faces a potential tropical threat later this week from Hurricane Irene, a major concern among meteorologists is “hurricane preparedness complacency”.

Do you know what the condition of your roof is? Will it be able to withstand hurricane or tropical force winds? Are the drains functioning properly to effectively and quickly remove the water to avoid ponding water?

It is not necessary to be in the direct path of a hurricane to feel and experience the effects of it. Don’t ever assume you are safe. It is always better to be prepared, rather than left picking up the pieces.
