The hurricane season is here. The Sun-Sentinel, discusses how meteorologists have begun monitoring a disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean. Although it is not yet a storm, it has the potential to become one.
The hurricane center wants to give Florida residents, as many days as possible to prepare for a storm. As the Sun-Sentinel explains, “the hurricane center plans to stretch its forecasting abilities, starting with generating six- and seven-day track forecasts — one of three new experiments intended to give residents as much preparation time as possible.”
This will allow Florida residents to prepare by buying emergency standby generators, that will keep their homes powered after the storm.
The hurricane center is also developing a method in which it warns Florida residents of disturbances before they even become tropical systems. This, the Sun-Sentinel states, will “provide the odds of a disturbance becoming a storm, from two to five days.” Since this technology is under development, the warnings may not lead to a storm actually hitting the state, but it will still allow residents to prepare so they won’t lose power.
Although this will give individuals more time to prepare for the storm, it is important not to leave such preparations for the last minute. Contact your local Personalized Power Systems, which carries quality whole-house generators for your Florida home.
