Where is the Hurricane

A simple mariner's trick can tell you where a storm is.

It looks funny, but it works!

ONLY DO THIS WHEN IT IS SAFE TO DO SO - NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF A HURRICANE!!!

Did you know you can tell where the eye of a storm is - even if you are hundreds of miles away?

When there is a cyclonic storm near your location, a simple trick can help you find out where the eye of the storm is.

Cyclonic storms swirl around a low-pressure center. If you are in the northern hemisphere, that circular motion will be in a counterclockwise direction. If you stand outside and can feel a constant wind, you can now determine the approximate direction of the storm eye.

Stand into the wind and point right to find the center.
Again - do not do this when it's dangerous!!

Stand facing the wind and point your left arm toward the same direction so it's pointing where the wind is coming from. Then point your right arm at a 90-degree angle from your left arm. Your right arm is now pointing toward the eye of the storm.

While you can not determine the distance from you, you can determine where it currently is and that can help make other decisions, such as if you should go boating today!

President

Nick Springer, current President and CEO of Springer Insurance, joined the agency in 2000. From CSR to telemarketer, Associate Agent, Vice President and now President, Nick worked every possible job in the agency, including janitor while he was in middle school two nights a week!

After taking over for Reta, who retired in 2018, Nick and his wife Shannon have grown the agency to four locations and recently moved the Home Office to a new office condo, still in Midlothian. Over his many years, Nick has attained the designation of a Certified Authority on Workers Compensation (CAWC) and most recently the coveted Certified Insurance Counseller (CIC) designation.

Nick is now heading up the new Springer Private Client Division geared to High Net Worth clients.
