SECO Energy Prepares for Potential Tropical Cyclone 4
SECO Energy is preparing for the possibility that Potential Tropical Cyclone 4 will affect parts of its service territory. Forecasts predict the system could develop into a tropical storm and impact Florida as early as Saturday night.
According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), Potential Tropical Cyclone 4’s current wind speeds are 30 mph, and the system is moving northwest at 16 mph. Potential Tropical Cyclone 4’s track remains uncertain as it approaches Florida. Current modeling suggests the system will remain on a west-northwest path and strengthen over the next 48 hours, potentially developing into a hurricane.
If Potential Tropical Cyclone 4 follows its projected path, SECO Energy members could experience tropical storm conditions and significant rainfall over the weekend and into early next week. Tornados spawned by tropical force winds are also a threat.
Take time today to prepare your family and home. Monitor weather reports and prepare in advance for Potential Tropical Cyclone 4 to make landfall in SECO Energy’s service territory.
