Hurricane Elsa Update

While most people were excited to finally get some rain this past week, others were relived in the fact that it meant the end of hurricane Elsa. Although this last hurricane wasn't as deadly as previous ones, hurricane Elsa definitely left her mark across the east coast.

Elsa became a tropical storm on July 1st and was quickly upgraded to a hurricane July 2nd. It started in the Atlantic ocean and hit Barbados and St. Lucia first. Luckily Elsa weakened as it entered the Caribbean Sea and moved closer to Cuba.

Unfortunately Elsa picked up more steam as it head closer to the US. Once Elsa hit Florida it was upgraded to a hurricane. From there it made its way up the east coast all the way to Virginia.

Thankfully there was more property damage than casualties. This is another reminder to make sure your home and business are prepared for any type of disaster.
