Don't Panic (Yet): Here's the Lowdown
The good news, my peaches and pecans, is there's currently no imminent hurricane threat to Georgia. June is a little early in the season for those blustery blowhards to be waltzing up the Atlantic. We can all breathe a sigh of relief and get back to arguing about whether Coke or Pepsi reigns supreme.
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
However, that doesn't mean we should completely forget about hurricane season, which officially runs from June 1st to November 30th. Hurricanes are like uninvited houseguests – they tend to show up unexpectedly and leave a mess. So, it's always a good idea to be prepared, just in case.

- Bring on the Board Games: Dust off those dusty board games collecting cobwebs in the closet. Entertainment is essential when you're stuck inside.
