It is also the time to break out and look over one's Hurricane Plan for those who live in those areas.
I'll be assuming HurCon 5 (Hurricane Condition) on the 1st of June.
Your plan for a cat 5 should be LEAVE unless you happen to live in a bunker with a 3 month autonomous supply inventory.
I leave the homestead for Cat 3 and worse. HurCon 5 is set during the season.
