All of us want respect, love, opportunity, and a peaceful life. We are all ONE RACE – the HUMAN RACE. Let’s come together in cooperation and respect to solve the problems…

What Is A Hurricane Watch? A hurricane watch means that hurricane conditions (sustained winds of 74 mph or higher) are possible within the specified area.

Because hurricane preparedness activities become difficult once winds reach tropical storm force, the hurricane warning is issued 36 hours in advance of the anticipated onset of tropical-storm-force winds. How To Prepare And Stay Safe During A Hurricane During…
