Atlantic Hurricane Season Begins Tomorrow

The official start of the Atlantic Hurricane Season begins tomorrow, June 1st. If you live along the Gulf or Atlantic coasts, this is a good time to dust off your Hurricane Preparedness Plans and review them so that you are prepared.

The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting a 50% chance of a "near normal" hurricane season. According to NOAA, we should expect
  • 9-14 named storms
  • 4-7 hurricanes
  • 1-3 major hurricanes
The 2009 season storm names will be: Ana, Bill, Claudette, Danny, Erika, Fred, Grace, Henri, Ida, Joaquin, Kate, Larry, Mindy, Nicholas, Odette, Peter, Rose, Sam, Teresa, Victor, and Wanda. Hopefully, we won't have to use them all.

Good Luck! Be Prepared!
