After a couple days of drenching rain, it is always nice to kick back and enjoy the clear blue skies.\u00a0 But this is also a perfect time to check all your emergency gear!<\/p>\n

Get those generators humming, batteries charging, and drag out those unused HTs to make sure they still work (or more likely that their owner remembers how to use them).<\/p>\n

Now that it is fall, we might think things are calming down weather-wise, but that isn’t the case in New England.\u00a0 Our peak hurricane season runs from mid-August thru mid-October.\u00a0 And it isn’t unusual to get storms all the way to the end of hurricane season at the end of November.\u00a0 Anyone remember Hurricane Sandy (October 29th)?<\/p>\n

An interesting situation is brewing in the Caribbean, which might have impacts on the East Coast next week, as seen below.\u00a0 Hurricane Humberto (lower right) is expected to track a bit further to the NW then swing to the NE, and out to the ocean.<\/p>\n
