It’s hurricane season in Florida, and we’ve already seen 5 major storms come and go this year.
Rainy day at Disney
As many people can agree, “a rainy day in Disney is better than a rainy day at home,” but that doesn’t mean you should travel all the way to Disney World without a little preparation. We have an update for you on the latest tropical storm, currently in the Dominican Republic area.
According to meteorologists, Tropical Storm Fred will move up towards Florida on Thursday, and experts don’t predict that Fred will upgrade to anything beyond a tropical storm in that time. Either way, all signs point to a strong possibility of heavy rain arriving in the Orlando area in the coming days.
