Hurricane Warning ⚠️‼️ You would not know it by watching the news in UK this morning but there is a major hurricane bearing down on the southern Caribbean, less than 24 hours away from making landfall. It is currently category 3 but expected to become category 4 before landfall on one or more small island states. What is unusual about this is that it is still June. Very early in the hurricane season. Major hurricanes do not tend to develop until later in the season, usually around the end of August going into September when sea temperatures are at their peak. The thing is sea temperatures are already 2.5 to 5.0 C above average between the Cape Verde islands in the East Atlantic and the Caribbean in the West Atlantic. Sure we are coming out of an El Niño event. But this is next level different. If people don’t wise up to this climate emergency soon…. I hate to think what we are in for. Meanwhile I’m praying for my family and friends in Barbados, Tobago, Grenada, St Vincent and especially the Grenadines, who look certain to be impacted by a direct hit.

⛈When preparing for another hurricane season, technology is likely the last thing on your mind.

Here are some tech tips to get you ready for this rainy season.

I thought this was a satellite photo of a hurricane, but it's an overhead snapshot of a hopper with a stable rathole. You can learn how to prevent ratholing in hoppers, bins, and silos by visiting my website www.mehos.net.

Is your building's electrical feeder stored in an electrical vault? If so, when was the last time you inspected it? To ensure your building stays safe during hurricane season, it's recommended that you schedule a yearly inspection with your utility provider. This will allow you to ensure sump pumps are working, the room is free of debris, and visually inspect the feeders dedicated to your building. Take the time to ask questions during the meeting to better understand any unknowns. Stay safe and stay prepared! #utilities #electricalsafety #CRE #hurricanepreparedness

I'm making the next hurricane hot issue prediction now. Florida's change relative to 30 lb felt is the new 25% rule. Better prep your rosters now with very specific experts on the interactions of multiple underlayments working together. Probably won't find them here though. Might want to look for them in areas like Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, or Minnesota where roofs are built with underlayment requirements that are different on different areas of the roofs to combat ice dams, or at least used to be.
