Insurance agents urge you to prepare for possible severe weather.

Before Isaac arrives, you should move garbage cans, patio furniture, grills, and other objects that could be tossed around by strong winds inside your home or garage.

"It causes additional damage, because if I hits glass, or hits part of the house, and some of these hurricane winds, if they get strong enough, they can pierce right into the wall of the home," says Al Hatcher, State Farm Agent.

Property owners should also inventory their personal belongings and make sure they have their insurance company's phone numbers readily available.

If you see any property damage, make sure you call your agent immediately. And we'll have crews on the Florida gulf coast as Isaac comes ashore.
