¤Tropical Storm Watch
Tropical Storm Watch means that a tropical storm is expected to encounter the coastal zone within 36 hours. The cone of error is 120 miles plus.
¤Tropical Storm Warning
Tropical Storm Warning means that a storm with high winds, surf and coastal flooding is expected in our area. Typically HomePro brings in outdoor furniture, potted plants and other garden decor items at this level.
¤Hurricane Watch
A Hurricane Watch is a 36 hour warning toward coastal areas within a 120 mile radius subject to hourly change. HomePro will provide our customers with a no/go on a prearranged hurricane plan during this period.
¤Hurricane Warning
A Hurricane Warning is a call to batten down the hatches and in some instances to prepare to evacuate. HomePro will immediately commence on our customers' hurricane plans at or before this point. We will continue working until 24 hours prior to the hurricane's arrival, at which time we will prepare to evacuate our own workers and families.
