Hurricane Season Starts Tomorrow — Final Prep Checklist Inside

Lecanto, FL · May 31, 2026

The humidity is holding steady this Sunday morning, a quiet reminder that the calendar flips to June tomorrow. It is a perfect day to clear the yard of any loose debris before the afternoon clouds settle in for their daily visit.

📰 The Lead

With hurricane season officially beginning tomorrow, today is the final window to check your supplies without the pressure of an active storm. Citrus County Emergency Management has updated the local evacuation zones for 2026, and residents are encouraged to verify their zone before the first tropical wave develops.

While the tax-free holiday for disaster supplies continues through the week, local hardware stores are already seeing a steady stream of neighbors stocking up on batteries and water. If you or a family member rely on the Special Needs Shelter at the Lecanto Renaissance Center, ensure your registration is current today. It is a calm morning to walk the perimeter of your home, clear out the gutters, and secure any loose patio furniture that could become a projectile in high winds.
