This year’s hurricane season is predicted to be the most active since the record breaking 2005 season. Every agency from Weather Services International to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are predicting that six to nine major hurricanes will make landfall. This is in part due to warmer water temperatures. Although the predictions are still premature, there is a much higher probability of above average activity if there is an immediate transition from El Nino to La Nina. An article from, ( Daily Finance ) discusses the potential financial devastation that this hurricane season could bring.
Despite the yearly predictions, it is always best to prepare for the hurricane season before any storms occur with essential hurricane supplies. Some of the necessary essentials include materials such as wood shutters, plywood, water, tarps and plenty of food. In addition to supplies, having a dependable evacuation plan is extremely important. In the event that a hurricane is forecasted for your area, pay close attention to broadcasts and obey all requests and warnings issued by your local government.
