August is usually the worst month of hurricane season, and by today Fred will reach us, probably as a tropical storm. I'm not as worried about that as I am what comes in the next couple of weeks. Andrew hit back in 1992 on August 23rd; Katrina landed on August 29th. Even when we get into September and October we're not in the clear; Irma arrived on September 10th; Matthew on October 7th. Storms are also the reason I'm not terrible fond of fall -- it means cooler temps and pretty leaves in other parts of the country; here it means monster hurricanes.
Although it's always a roll of the dice whether or not we'll make it through storm season without a direct hit, I'd still rather deal with hurricanes than blizzards, droughts, or wildfires.

I've been keeping an eye on Fred and wondering how close it would come. Just stay safe, my friend.
