AN EARLY START TO HURRICANE SEASON

Only days after the 2005 hurricane season begins, here comes Tropical Storm Arlene! While weak and heading into the Gulf of Mexico toward a likely Mississippi/Alabama landfall Sunday, it serves as a reminder for those of us that enjoy living in the Gulf or Atlantic regions that the time of year has come again...as if we needed any reminders after last year! One only needs to look at the number of blue tarps still covering roofs across Central Florida to remember the heavy winds and pouring rain and destruction in many areas.

Great idea to schedule the tax-free week for hurricane supplies for this week, eh?
