Hurricane Season Begins June 1st and lasts through November 30th

We start off the season with Arthur still classified as a Tropical Storm, dumping heavy rain over Central America.

Names for storms this year are: Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly, Edouard, Fay, Gustav, Hanna, Ike, Josephine, Kyle, Lili, Marco, Nana, Omar, Paloma, Rene, Sally, Teddy, Vicky, Wilfred

Atlantic Hurricanes can affect anywhere along the eastern coastline and Gulf of Mexico, and even cause a great deal of inland flooding and some times wind damage well inland of where a system makes landfall.

Here is to a safe Hurricane Season, make your plan now and be prepared. A great site to visit to help devise your plan is:

The more efforts you put into a plan now is less you have to think about come time for hunkering down or evacuation.
