As a volunteer for the Red Cross, I can tell you that they have been preparing all year long to keep you safe. After the storm, be very cautious. Get out of your house if it suffered structural damage. Stay away from downed power lines, and stay out of water puddles. Do not drink tap water until officials announce it s safe to drink.
Hurricane season is a way of life in South Florida.
