Today I have spent most of the day making preparations for Tropical Storm Ernesto, and the unlikely possibility that it becomes a hurricane.
To find out more about the storm visit the National Hurricane Center (NHC) part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
If you live in the state of Florida, it is best to be prepared for the storm even if it turns out to be a minor one. Your preparations should definitely be done by 5PM EST on this Tuesday, August 9th of 2006.
