CAROLINE VAL WED 8/20 ▼ DOWNTOWN MIAMI HURRICANE WARNING While we Miamians are no strangers to hur- ricanes and have weathered many storms in the past, there’s always value in deepening our understanding and preparing for the fu- ture. Frost Science’s Just for Me: Hurricanes 101 is an uncharacteristically fun way to get ready for peak season. You’ll step into the eye of the storm (safely, of course) and learn what a hurricane looks like from above. As you create your own mini hurricane, you’ll learn about what makes these storms so powerful and how you can prep for the next one. 4 p.m. at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, 1101 Biscayne Blvd., Mi- ami; 305-434-9600. Admission is free with the purchase of an admission ticket at frost- science.org. SOPHIA MEDINA [email protected]
