There’s been a lot of talk recently about whether the hurricane season would be starting earlier this year in Florida.

As we’ve given you tips and tricks on how to handle intense weather in the theme parks, today is definitely one of the days you’ll need to implement them. There has been rain, a severe thunderstorm watch, and more that have caused attractions to close down in Florida’s theme parks.
