The Atlantic hurricane season is from June 1st to November 30th with September being the peak of the hurricane season. We’ve already had 3 major storms since the season has began and the season is long from over. Two of the three storms were category five hurricanes (Hurricane Irma and Maria) and devastated my island home a mere 12 days apart. I’ve lived through my fair share of hurricanes and it’s nothing easy.
While we can’t stop the fury of Mother Nature, there are some things that you can do to be better prepared especially during the aftermath of storm. Here is my ultimate list of supplies to have on hand during hurricane season. These will help you during and after the storm.
