Hurricane Country Hats

Hurricane season on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts has its own local manners. A survey reported by Action News Jax found 60% of Floridians say they would not evacuate unless a storm is Category 3 or higher, and 25% would not leave even after a warning. In Louisiana, a hurricane on the way means send out the invites, and alcohol sales go up. When Hurricane Ian approached, Floridians turned plywood into a joke canvas, and during Dorian Publix sold hurricane cakes with Go Away written in frosting. The National Hurricane Center says the circle of its cone holds about two-thirds of historical forecast errors, which is a fair place to live. These hurricane country hats are written from the resident's side of the plywood. HURRICANE SEASON and HURRICANE PARTY are the badges. The sentence designs carry the unbothered bravado: a Category 2 as a stiff breeze, evacuation to the living room, hurricane supplies that are all beer, and snacks that never make it to landfall. HURRICANE SUPPLIES: ALL BEER echoes a tee already selling as Hurricane Evacuation Plan Grab Beer. CATEGORY 2 IS A STIFF BREEZE and HURRICANE PARTY each get a second colorway. They are jokes, not safety advice: follow evacuation orders. Weather Nerd hats are for the storm hobbyist, and Florida and Cajun hats are place pride; this collection is the coastal resident's storm identity. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat.
