With Danielle and Earl churning in the midatlantic, we must remember that September is historically the worst month for Hurricanes.  For those of us who are closing up their homes in Tuckerton Beach for the winter, please be certain to insure your property is in the best possible condition to weather a major storm while you’re away.  Put away all summer furniture, and clean your yard to prevent floating debris from causing damage.  If your boat is still in the water, make certain it is property tied down to allow for higher than normal tides.  For those year around residents, keep track of advancing major storms so you wouldn’t be caught off guard.  If advised to evacuate, please do so as soon as possible.  If the water is over one foot deep on the roadway, it’s way too late!!!!!

Be prepared, plan ahead, be aware of the weather!  Watch the weather on TV, listen to the NOAA weather on the radio!  At the first mention of hurricane watches or warnings get yourself, your family, and your property ready for the worst.  Make advance plans on just where you will evacuate too.  If you need additional info on hurricane planning please call the office.

 Harold Spedding, Coordinator.
