Douglas High Tragedy Haunts So Many
Local Families Are Still Coming To Grips With The Reality That This Will Never End By Larry Blustein sfsutimes@aol.com Since Valentine’s Day, April Cerra has been on a mission.

1st Priority Restoration Knows That One Bad Storm Can Leave Us In A Tough Situation We are now in that mode when watching the weather forecast becomes part of our daily lives. From June until late November - while we try to live normal lives there is indeed an understanding that just one storm can ruin this slice of paradise. If you you have lived here long enough, you know the drill. For those who needed a reminder
last September - our “brush” with Hurricane Irma put everything into perspective . Couple that with “sub-tropical” Alberto, which was the first named storm of this season, and thoughts of flooding, power outages and devastation play in all of our heads. With the start of the summer and those heavy rains, one local company remains ready - just in case of flooding
and potential mildew issues. 1st Priority Restoration is all about giving the customer that "peace of mind.” Alberto was a wakeup call that was needed by every South Florida resident, who is the last to prepare and get ready in case a storm approaches.
