Hurricane Lee - Another Weather Warning

Hurricane Lee – Another Weather Warning

Being Prepared

At this point it is a bit uncertain whether Hurricane Lee will have an impact on the east coast, but taking steps to minimize the impact is sensible as it roars up the Atlantic.

Here are a few steps to take:

•  Secure your outdoor furniture, best if put indoors

•  Check all your down spouts to be certain they are adequately fastened

•  Check your gutter leaders so they direct water away from your basement

•  It might be late to have your gutters cleaned for Hurricane Lee, but clean gutters help to avoid water damage

•  If you are in a low-lying area, move your car(s) to higher ground. Saltwater intrusion will be a total loss to your vehicle

Remember that flood, or water coming from the outside is a primary exclusion on home insurance policies.
