That just means we don’t know where they would go,” said Director of the Baldwin County Emergency Management Agency, Tom Tyler. “It’s just going to be an active season in the hurricane…in the Atlantic basin is what they are predicting but we would like to tell everyone, now is the time to start preparing if you’re not fully prepared, if you’re not where you need to be.
