(1) Potential future storm hanging around in the Caribbean.
This one may turn out to be a nothingburger for the US, but it is tracking in a W-NW direction with a lot of ocean to cover yet.
Hopefully nothing much develops until peak season in August-Sept.

(2) There's a storm in the Eastern Pacific to monitor, and nothing of concern yet in the Central Pacific zone.
In 4 years of watching, I haven't seen a storm off the Western coast of Mexico that developed into a hurricane affecting the SW USA but it's not impossible one day.

(3) It's a fact that weather patterns around the world are less stable, but it's certainly not linear from year to year. I think where folk disagree is on the question of what is causing it.
Regardless, natural disasters affect us all. And the impact is worse during a pandemic.

(5) Along with hurricanes, other kinds of weather event have been impacting Americans just as much lately.
Such as flood, wind, tornado, heatwave, blizzard, and storm.
There's a wealth of readiness info at ready.gov and weather.gov/safety/.

(6) Between disasters is a good time to review your financial readiness. Find out what your insurance does & doesn't cover. You can get expert advice that is well worth the relatively low cost. Don't expect government to always be there to bail you out.

(7) Having to sell a home at a reduced price or not at all really sucks. Part of life's ups & downs I'm afraid.
When a region is no longer financially feasible to live in, someone has to carry the cost of that. It's wrong to spread the cost to everyone else, against their will.

(8) Insurance is different. It's a product that each purchaser chooses to buy, with defined parameters. The cost is spread, voluntarily.
I believe in doing my due diligence with every purchase above a certain amount. I don't like surprises, especially in a time of crisis.

(9) #HWStormWatch update for today:
Now watching two "disturbances" in the Atlantic. The nat hurricane center says current ocean temperatures in the tropical eastern and central Atlantic Ocean are "only marginally conducive for tropical cyclone formation."

(10) South of the US Pacific coast there's a storm moving North that will probably be named soon. #Enrique is next on the list:
