Another summer. Another hurricane season. Another opportunity for the Gulf to forsake us. On June 1st, Islanders will wake up just like any other morning. But the air will float a little warmer than May allowed it too. The days will seem forever indebted to the sun. It's light out when most of us wake up. And for some of us, it's light out when we go to bed. The beach crowds get larger and larger. Shorts and flip flops becomes the Island's religion. But we all keep a quietly intense focus to the murmur over our shoulder. It's always there this time of year. But this summer is different. We may pay a little more attention to weather coverage and take it a little more serious. After all, we don't want to get kicked when we're down.
Hurricane season will be upon us like the uninvited guest. So Islanders, it's time to make sure you have plans in place. Do you have your hurricane survival kit? Did you learn anything from last year? If you need help planning your strategy, be sure to attend the City's town hall meeting June 3rd. It'll be all about hurricane preparedness.
Here's the details:
What - Hurricane Preparedness Town Hall Meeting
When - June 3rd, 2009; 6 p.m.
Where - Galveston Island Convention Center, 5600 Seawall
There'll even be free hot dogs, cake, and drinks.
We might as well prepare ourselves. None of us want another storm to ruin our summer. But we need to be aware and prepared if such madness occurs again.
Here's to a "major"-storm-free summer and hurricane season.
