At the time of this posting, BERYL has crossed the Yucatán Península, and the cone of the probable path continues to shift to the Texas coast and/or to include the Houston/Galveston area. Beryl is anticipated to gain strength and return to hurricane status before making landfall on Monday. We are forecasted to be on the wet or ‘dirty’ side of this storm. This means we will be impacted with the heavy rains and the rains will continue next week. Sources to stay informed are the National Hurricane Center, the National Weather Service and the local TV channels & their websites.
Many of you have been through major rain events, tropical storms and even hurricanes while living here in The Enclave. Below is information and resources for you to review and assist you in preparing for this and future storms.
Please prepare taking into account that we may experience power outages, both short and long term.
- Connect with your neighbors. Let them know your plans and stay in touch
- Gas up your vehicle. This is important if you choose to leave the area or if we experience an extended power outage
- Check around your home & yard: remove loose debris, secure trash cans or other items that could be impacted by high winds, check and clear atrium & street drains, etc.
- Check your pantry. Be sure you have food & water for 3 to 7 days.
- Keep Cell Phones charged and batteries charged. Have your charging cords readily available
- Have flashlight ready, available with charged batteries
- If you have a generator, either portable or built in, please consider your neighbors. If we experience an extended power outage, please check to see if your neighbor needs to refrigerate medications or maybe food, if you have room. Also, your neighbors may need to charge up their cell phones or battery packs. Make your neighbors really jealous of your generator!
Below are attached sources for additional information as well as preparation checklists.
STAY INFORMED, STAY SAFE.
