Hurricane Awareness Night at MacDill AFB 18 Jun
Hurricane season started in 1 June in Florida and runs until the end of November. MacDill AFB will be hosting a Hurricane Awareness Night at 7:30pm this Wednesday at the MacDill AFB theater. After the presentation on hurricanes, Speed Racer will be shown for free! You can also have dinner at the theater with a hot dog and medium drink special available for $4. Although there are no major hurricanes forecasted to hit Florida this year and none have hit for the past 3 years, hurricanes are a fact of life in Florida. Families need to prepare themselves and their families, their homes and their pets. It is a good idea to have hurricane supplies like food, water, batteries, radios, lights and maybe a generator, ready in the unlikely event of a hurricane. Since power will probably be affected by a hurricane, it is also a good idea to have cash in case the ATM’s are down. You also need to map out your evacuation route. If you do have to evacuate, the roads will be probably crowded with other people evacuating.
