As we get closer to hurricane season and if you are in a hurricane prone area, don't forget to take pictures of the outside and inside of your house before it gets hit by a hurricane and if your house does get destroyed by a hurricane don't forget to take of the inside and outside of your house again. This is so you will be able to get insurance money for everything destroyed in your house. I learned this on a T.V. commercial the other night.

This can be a good thread to discuss ways to get ready this and every season as we count down the time until each hurricane season starts. We can also discuss lessons learned here and to take all storms seriously (even tropical storms) and realize they can - and will - all be destructive in ways regardless of intensity. Even tropical storms are destructive.
