Anders experienced her first hurricane at age 6, and that was the first of many hurricanes and tropical storms that this island dwelling educator has lived through. In addition to her personal experiences, she will share the scientific information that will help us better understand this phenomenon.
“As Floridians, we are lucky to enjoy a tropical paradise for most of the year, but we do have to be prepared for when occasionally the weather chooses to create a storm,” said Teri Kollath, Manager of Academy and Volunteer Services. “Ms. Anders speaks in our Academy quite regularly, and she offers guests a great insight into many aspects of life in Southwest Florida.”
