With this issue of Natural Awakenings, we welcome another
gorgeous June here in the Bay area. With the arrival of this year’s tropical
storm season, June 1 to November 30, we are reminded of the good sense it makes
for Floridians to prepare in case hurricane force conditions hit head-on. Last
year’s season was the most active on record with 30 named storms and 13
hurricanes. Experts predict that 2021 activity will be above average as well.
One
way or the other, there are proactive steps to take in staying safe. Stock up
on water and emergency supplies, fine tune an evacuation plan, and stay
informed. Hillsborough and Pinellas counties offer helpful public information
programs on hurricane preparedness in our area. (Learn more at HillsboroughCounty.org and/or PinellasCounty.org.) And remember to
fine tune and nurture networks of friends and family both near and far.
Together, we can make it work.
June's
arrival also triggers thoughts of the dear dads and dad-like others among us.
Special celebrations have taken place ever since Father's Day was declared a
national holiday some time mid-20th century. Now, in this special June 2021 issue of NA Tampa Bay, we
honor that tradition.
