Face mask mandates have long ended, and the two most active hurricane season months brought just one major storm, Hurricane Ian, to the continental United States, as well as a late-season Category 1 storm, Hurricane Nicole.

Products are often made in distant lands, travel on oceans and waterways, arrive at ports, are then transported to warehouses, from where a third-party logistics provider delivers the product to its intended destination.
