It’s too early to give up on hurricanes

even though there wasn’t a single named storm by this time. We’ve already had two named storms this year. Before the season the National Hurricane Center projected 13 to 17 named storms seven to 10 hurricanes and three to five major hurricanes (winds 111 mph and higher) in the Atlantic cean. The Colorado State University team led by seasonal hurricane forecasting pioneer William Gray produced a similar forecast of 17 named storms nine hurricanes and five major hurricanes. Personally I think this Atlantic tropical season is going to get rather busy in about a month or so. I don’t know if it will match these forecasts but I doubt that we’ll go another year without at least one hurricane hitting the U… We’ve already had two named storms this year.

The results of this survey will be distributed to state and local officials for use in emergency planning. Evacuation and Shelter ConditionsIf residents of high-risk hurricane areas have to evacuate because of a major hurricane most would be concerned about the conditions of evacuation shelters if they had to go to one. The biggest worries people have are that shelters would be unsanitary (68%) there wouldn’t be enough clean water to drink (66%) the shelter would be too crowded (65%) they would be exposed to sick people (62%) and medical care would be lacking (58%). Hurricane PreparationsMany residents of hurricane-prone areas have not made critical preparations for a major storm. If running water were cut off due to a hurricane one in four (23%) would run out of clean water after two days and over half (54%) would run out after six days. If power were shut off one in ten (9%) would be without food after two days and nearly half (44%) after six days.
