If you live in a hurricane-prone area (Florida, Texas, Louisiana, the Carolinas just to name a few), you know how important it is to have a hurricane preparedness kit. Hurricanes can severely damage property, including landscaping decor, outdoor furniture, statuary fountains, pool accessories and more.

Typically, the best time to prepare for a hurricane is before the threat is imminent. By preparing early you can reduce property damage and get through the emergency with less stress during the event. If you waited until the hurricane watch is issued, be sure to take extra caution while you get ready for the impending storm.
