Home » Blog » Tropical Storm Fred Approaching Florida

Tropical Depression Fred has officially become a Tropical Storm as of Tuesday. The storm is currently making it’s way through the Caribbean bringing heavy rain and gusty 15-20mph winds. Meteorologists at The Weather Channel are expecting Florida to see rain and the wind impacts by this weekend. Details on the magnitude and timing are still under watch and will be reported periodically as more information is known.

For now, Floridians are being told to monitor the forecast closely given Fred’s current path. By Friday, the storm is predicted to reach South Florida, potentially making landfall over the Florida Keys according to CNN.

Forecast From the Caribbean to Florida

The official NHC forecast depicts a possible intensification of Fred once it reaches the waters south of Florida or possibly the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Due to the wind shear, dry air and land interaction obstacles this forecast may change. We recommend you still prepare for heavy rains and wind impacts.

How to Prepare for a Tropical Storm Fred

Stock up on non-perishable food items (Don’t forget pet food!)
Keep the recommended amount of water on hand (1 gallon per person per day)
Secure patio furniture, remove any loose foliage and branches that could become airborne during high winds
Make a list of emergency contacts and take an inventory of your home valuables
If any damage occurs during the storm take photo documentation

A Reputation You Can Trust

"I love my new windows and doors! Windows are manufactured here in Florida. We expected delivery in October but they came in sooner (yea!) and we installed at the end of August (thank you Billy). Installers were quick and professional and clean up everything. Cary picked up the ball after installation and has been proactive in getting the permit and punch list closed out. I definitely recommend this company"

"The new Windows and doors are absolutely wonderful in my new home.They open and close so easily and have a great air seal. It’s such an improvement over the old ones I had which required a lot of strength to operate and always felt like with the slightest wind would rattle and break. The two installers did an excellent job and the finishing team did an exceptional job. Thank you for making the entire process seamless from start to finish. We’ll definitely use Locktight again when we need to do any future door or window replacements."

"I had a great experience with LockTight. When it came to getting impact windows for my house, I got several quotes but LockTight gave me the best estimate so I ended up going with them, not to mention everyone I spoke with was incredibly courteous and professional throughout the entire process, particularly Tyler, who set my appointment for my quote and gave me lots of helpful information. After about 5 months, I got my new windows and sliding glass door and I'm in love. I sleep so soundly at night with these new windows, I can't hear anything coming from the outside! Highly recommend."
