EDIT: This was posted in April....Make sure you are prepared!!!
Tomorrow is the start of the "official" tropical storm season & there is a weak depression in the eastern Pacific, so I thought it was time again to remind us to have our storm prep ready (where is your To-Go bag & is it up-to-date & do you have your pet carriers & To-Go for your furry friends?)!
a good bookmark in the CPHC:

and to check on the water vapor (& storm) movement, I like the wv loop (normally you see a nice dry sheer over the island, pushing eastward towards the mainland...when that rides way north of the islands...time to really watch the storm development):

_I know it is a wee bit early, yet with Hurricane Season just a wee bit over a month away, I figure, it is time to post some reminders...
I am posting the lists compiled before Iselle hit, which have a lot of info & links, and some reminders
If you have pets, storm shelters that allow pets WILL NOT allow pets without cages or carriers...so make sure you have enough for your furry friends (during Iseelle, the Keaau shelter had to turn away people that came with pets that didn't have...& one cat in a soft carrier ripped out of the carrier at the height of the storm, so think about how well confined your friend is
Taping your windows & glass doors is no longer recommended, and without the glass, your house is under far more stresses...we are looking into storm shuttering now (there are many different types, from plywood to fully automated gizmos)
KHON "Surviving a Storm" has some good info
