Hurricanes don’t
happen every day, but when they do, they can cause significant damage and
create chaos. Some seasons are heavily active, while others may only see one or
two major storms that never make landfall. The weather is unpredictable, so
opting not to travel at all during hurricane season isn’t necessary. Being
prepared for the possibility, however, will ensure that you will still enjoy
your vacation, while staying safe and protecting yourself as well as your
investment.
Tip # 2 -
Set up an additional travel
destination option. While a visit to Jamaica, South Beach, or the Carolina coast are
excellent and extremely popular choices for a summer vacation, these
cities also see frequent hurricane activity, even in close-call brushes.
Even indirect hits have been known to seriously alter travel depending on
weather conditions. Flights in or out of these cities can be grounded
without warning. Gloomy weather can ruin a trip to the beach or even make
it dangerous to get in the water. Theme parks can suddenly close; cruises
are often forced to change the itinerary, or depart hours earlier than
scheduled. Having a backup plan (preferably somewhere inland) will ensure
that you can still have an enjoyable trip should your plans for your first
choice fall through.
