Florida's Hurricane Supply Tax Free Week Starts Soon
      Wed May 28 2014 07:18 AM

For 9 days starting this Saturday, May 31st - Sunday, June 8th certain hurricane supplies will be tax free, so be hurricane prepared this year. The last time the hurricane supply tax-free week happened was in 2007.

Some of the specific items in the Sales Tax Holiday include:
· A portable self-powered light source selling for $20 or less
· A portable self-powered radio, two-way radio, or weather band radio selling for $50 or less
· A tarpaulin or other flexible waterproof sheeting selling for $50 or less
· A self-contained first-aid kit selling for $30 or less
· A ground anchor system or tie-down kit selling for $50 or less
· A gas or diesel fuel tank selling for $25 or less
· A package of AA-cell, C-cell, D-cell, 6-volt, or 9-volt batteries, excluding automobile and boat batteries, selling for $30 or less
· A nonelectric food storage cooler selling for $30 or less
· A portable generator that is used to provide light or communications or preserve food in the event of a power outage selling for $750 or less

There are some rules around bundled items that may disqualify it as well, more details can be found at

These including buying anything at a theme park, entertainment complex, public lodging establishment, or airport, or to the rental or repair of any of these items.

The start of the Atlantic hurricane season is June 1st. One area to watch is a potential low area near the Yucatan for next week, although odds are it will just be rain, the GFS model does show it possibly making it to the panhandle/Florida by the weekend after this one.


Also the National Hurricane Center has started an official blog called "Inside the Eye" at http://noaanhc.wordpress.com/
