Greater Lead Time For Hurricane Watches and Warnings

Monday, May 10th, 2010

THIS SEASON, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami, Florid, will issue watches and warnings for tropical storms and hurricanes along threatened coastal areas 12 hours earlier than in previous years.

According to NHC experts, advancements in track forecasters are making it possible for forecasters to provide greater lead time. Tropical Storm watches will be issued when tropical storm conditions are possible along the coast within 48 hours. Tropical storm warnings will be issued when those conditions are expected within 36 hours. This is an increase of 12 hours from those issued in previous years.

Similar increases in lead-time will apply to hurricane watches and warnings. The hurricane watches and warnings will generally be timed to provide 48 to 36 hours notice, respectively, before the onset of tropical storm force winds. That additional time will allow people to prepare for the storm – securing your windows and doors, getting food and water stockpiled, securing oil rig platforms- enough time to finish preparations and get to a safe shelter.

Don’t delay. Get your storm protection today.

The latest Flat-Screen TV winners

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Howes

There were nearly 200 people who registered for the Flat-Screen TV Giveaway at the Storm Smart booth during this past weekend’s Home & Garden Show in Punta Gorda, Florida. Bill and Barbara Howe filled out their name and contact information like everyone else, wondering if they could ever win such a prize.

Yesterday, there was a knock at their door and they were greeted with a smile, and a brand new VIZIO Flat-Screen TV! “Have you ever won anything before?” “No!” was their answer. They were obviously thrilled with the TV. Bill and Barbara said “We already have a place for it and it will be put to good use, thank you so much”.

The next opportunity to win such a prize will be at the Big Boy Tech & Toy Show to be held at Germain Arena on Sat Feb 13th and Sun Feb 14th. ‘Major Storm’ the Storm Smart Industries mascot will be there, along with temporary tattoos for the kids, and other fun, free items. The friendly people at Storm Smart hope to see you there.

BMC West Endorses Storm Catcher

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Houston, Texas is the largest new construction market in the country. It is also an area that felt the wrath and devastation of Hurricane Ike. Recently, Warren Clark of BMC West, wrote an article which appeared in the Houston Custom Home Builders Resource Guide. This publication reaches over 30,000 people and is the premier construction publication in the Houston Area. Here is a blurb from the article which is being reprinted with the permission of Warren Clark and BMC:

Storm Smart Industries, the nation’s largest manufacturer of hurricane protection systems, has recently introduced a hurricane wind abatement system in Texas that is already a mainstay in Florida. The system and installation options are practical and easy to use. “It’s a flexible material that protects your home just as a bullet-proof vest protects the human body. Even though you take a hit, the bullet-prove vest keeps you alive. The Storm Catcher storm protection systems are based on the same principals”.

The article goes on to explain all of the benefits of all of the Storm Catcher hurricane screen systems in depth, and is aimed at educating the largest construction market in the country on the merits of our products. We’d like to say thanks to BMC and Warren for writing this article, and hope that those who read it find it informative.
