Tropical Depression Ana appears to be fizzling out. Tropical Storm Claudette became the first storm of the year to hit land when it rocked the Florida Panhandle early Monday morning with sustained winds near 50 mph. And Bill just became the season's first hurricane out in the Atlantic.

But if you're smart, you would check out our official Hurricane Guide, compiled by NBC Miami's brilliant weather team that includes everything you need to know in order to prepare for a hurricane.
