Due to current events, I found it in our best interest if i post a link to the best and most informative hurricane watch sites.
Each one of these sites give you information that the other hurricane and weather watch sites don’t give you. and of course these maps are all on the Atlantic and gulf of Mexico. Mexico to Florida, Florida to Canada coast.
StormPulse Informative Weather map site with details about each city with in the path of the hurricane
National Weather Center I actually use this site quite often but lately i find myself using it a bit less as the other weather watch sites get better at showing you progress.
Weather underground Lots of images and moving satellite images let you watch what has happened up to now.
Accuweather
Great images let you see progress with plenty of interactiveness.
Stay safe and don’t let your food go bad.
When Houston goes without power, we go without gas and food, and that gets rough. If you haven’t got your fuel yet and you are less than 12 hours from the storm. You are probably better off just hunkering down and saving your fuel.. Don’t use your batteries up in your equipment on the first night. Go plug your cell phone in the car charger in your vehicle, because it will eat that battery up looking for a signal if the signal is low or minimal towers are powered.
Save the bread save the water. Get the pets some place that the loud sounds won’t disturb them so much.
Be resourceful. Generators use lots of fuel. Hurricanes do more than just what the storm can do while it’s beating up your city. The time you are without common resources, can put the current American at the edge.
Go pull up those solar powered yard lights you have. They have batteries in them and they will recharge after the storm. If you can get to Home depot or Walmart, those solar powered yard lights average between $1.99 and $15.The Walmart Here in Houston, has a larger selection of $1.99 varieties. I paid $2.99 for mine and they have rechargeable batteries in them. AA size in fact. Load up on them. Buy one and check it for batteries. If it has rechargeable in it, then buy up a few.. After the storm is over, you have a cool looking yard because they do double as security. I have a stack of AA batteries that I use for my razors and a camera. I have been recharging them for a month, for free. ;-)
