The tropics are heating up after a relatively slow start. Now is the time to prepare. Give yourself time to get your things together, gas up your vehicle and have a plan if you are told to evacuate. It's better to prepare early, planning for a worse case scenario than not prepare and have to leave last minute with chaos and possibly get stranded in traffic or without the needed hurricane supplies (water, non perishable food, manual can opener, flash light and batteries, important documents, meds, pet supplies, a charged cell phone, etc). Stay weather aware and pray florence loses steam.
