🌀 His thoughts on living in the path of hurricanes and why understanding how to assess your own unique tropical weather risk is vitally important as a resident
🌴 What he thinks should be on every new Florida Keys home buyer's move-in checklist for tropical weather prep
🌀 The reputable and science-based resources he recommends to prepare and track storms as they form
🌴 The worst storm he's ever experienced in Key West
🌀 What the Key West weather team does when they have to hunker down at the weather service building during tropical weather
🌴 What the cone means and how to understand it
