In-Depth: Don't miss important steps in hurricane, disaster planning and last updated 2021-05-31 19:31:44-04 Mayra Delgado knows hurricanes better than most, and she knows how to prepare. " I'm prepared. I'm from an island. I'm from Cuba so we are so used to, to be prepared in case of any disaster," Delgado said. The island right in the middle of the Caribbean has become ground zero for lots of serious storms. When the hurricane season kicks off with two storms in different regions, almost two weeks ahead of schedule. Bell County's emergency management coordinator calls resourcefulness, a great skill. "There's two storms in the ocean right now, does it bother me? Well, certainly it is unusual, and we're predicted to have a busy season this year," said Bell County Emergency Management Coordinator Michael Harmon.
