00:00Florida is now entering the heart of hurricane season, and experts say it's time to get serious about being prepared.

00:06Colorado State University just adjusted their forecast.

00:10They're now predicting 16 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 3 major ones for the 2025 Atlantic season.

00:17That's still slightly above normal.

00:19But here's what's even more alarming.

00:2196% of hurricanes that impact Florida happen between August and October,

00:26and 30% of all tropical cyclones, August alone.

00:29Key Biscayne knows what's at stake.

00:31Public Works Director Christopher Miranda says their stormwater system gets a full clean every year.

00:37Conveyance lines, pollution controls, even 39 wells, everything.

00:41That's 10 times more effort than most municipalities.

00:45Why? Because Key Biscayne sits in a floodplain.

00:48If a hurricane hits, the entire island has to evacuate.

00:51They don't wait for county orders either.

00:53They call evacuations 18 hours ahead.

00:56It's a lesson they learned from Hurricane Ian.

00:58When late evacuation orders cost over 150 lives in Lee County.

01:03Meanwhile, a storm called Invest 93L is brewing.

01:06It's dumping heavy rain, may turn into a tropical depression, and millions are already under flood watches.

01:12So check your hurricane kits.

01:13Test your hurricane kits, test your hurricane kits, test your generator, and stay alert, because this season is just getting started.

01:18Test your hurricane kits.
