Odessa, FL (PRWEB) May 3, 2005 -- Last year the state of Florida was ravaged by several hurricanes in a row -- Hurricane Frances, Hurricane Charley, Hurricane Ivan, and Hurricane Jeanne. Thousands of families and businesses were impacted by these storms and most were ill prepared for the situation they faced. That's how My Hurricane Center -- http://www.myhurricanecenter.com - was born. It includes resources and tools for everyone who lives in a hurricane prone area -- from the northeastern Atlantic coast to the Gulf of Mexico. My Hurricane Center brings together information, tips, tools, and resources to help families and businesses prepare for a hurricane.
"When four hurricanes in a row ravaged the state of Florida in 2004, it was a pretty scary and nerve-wracking ordeal. Was the next hurricane coming, or not? People in Florida spent weeks on pins and needles," says Denise O'Berry, founder of the website. "My family was very lucky to escape harm and only suffered the inconvenience of a week without electricity during one hurricane and only a day or so during the others. We had very little damage in our area, but I still found it difficult to locate the resources I needed quickly. I can't imagine how tough it was for the people who suffered great losses."
