Storm Advisory: Hurricane Sandy Coming

by JW

A weather advisory to be aware of for this weekend is Hurricane Sandy. It is currently affecting Cuba, Haiti, and the Caribbean and will be approaching the U.S. East Coast over the coming days. Evaluate your winter storm preparations and supplies and monitor this storm over the next few days. Check your equipment and replenish your supplies now before the storm and beat the last minute rush. Better to be 3 days early than 1 day late.
