HURRICANE SEASON

One difficult part of living in Florida, is the Hurricane Season, we are close again Caribbean, Florida, the Golf of Mexico and Cancun. to this period starting in May and resuming in November. I experienced already the whole season, to be honest is no joke. Hurricanes can be devastating if the city is not well prepared. How does this starts? Very simple, the whole Caribbean area is a low pressure zone which accelerates the formation of tropical storms that afterwards become Hurricanes, which means trouble for all this zone,

Hurricane Dennis was the first hurricane that came within Florida, although it was a category one, we were not allowed to go out to the streets or wander around.

Hurricane Katrina was the big one, started out with string winds, you could actually see the sky moving over your head, when it was time to get home things started to get ugly. I could hear the thunders roaring, the string rain, everything turned a littler bit blue and that’s when we knew we were at the eye of the storm. We got a lot of fallen trees, energy polls, broken windows, very chaotic scene. However New Orleans got the worst part as you might know, the city flooded and millions of people lost their home.

Wilma came out of nowhere, all of a sudden we heard on the news that a storm was going to hit Cancun and we were next. For three days Wilma passed through Cancun before hitting us, we were lucky again, even though we got a lot of wind, rain and pretty much the same devastation as in Katrina, Miami held on for five days without electricity.
