Preparing Your Home for Potential High Winds from Hurricane Laura
Hurricane Laura is not messing around. This will be a major hurricane with a powerful storm surge for those near the Texas/Louisiana state line.
Here in the Crossroads, we will mainly be looking at a chance for some strong gusty winds as Laura moves through. This can create havoc in your yard if you have not taken the time to secure lawn furniture, tents, grills, the doghouse, or even that backyard trampoline! Below we'll take a look at Hurricane Laura and then a few things to check for in your yard ahead of the storm. Perhaps one of the most dangerous things to forget about is that back yard trampoline!
