Tropical Storm Alberto expected to become Hurricane Alberto
Tropical Storm Alberto, the first storm of the 2006 Hurricane season, is now projected to become Hurricane Alberto. Alberto is off the western coast of Florida and expected to make landfall somtime tommorow. Hurricane Warnings, and Tropical Storm Watches have been issued for most of the west coast of Florida. The current track has the storm making landfall north of the Tampa bay area.
However, we do knos that tracks do change. At this point we should all be prepared, but at the same time remain calm. In the previous years, we have been through a lot of wait and see scenarios with these storms. Tropical events are nothing to sneeze, but going into a panic does not remedy the situation.
It you haven’t already, make sure you have all your hurricane supplies. Remember this is just the second week of Hurricane season. Be prepared.
