The 2018 Hurricane Season is under way. We already had the first Tropical Storm of the year last week off the Florida Gulf coastline. Last year, we dodged a bullet but our neighbors just northeast of us in the Rockport area had the brunt of Hurricane Harvey.
Now is the time to start preparing your business in the event a storm comes our way this summer.

Do you think everything is getting more expensive? It’s not your imagination – prices have generally been rising, and you’re likely to pay somewhat higher prices in the future, too. Overall inflation measures have been rising by about 2%, including the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which aggregates a broad basket of prices based on consumer spending. The good news is the expected inflation rate is also about 2%.
