Hurricane season is here until November

Hurricane Season has officially begun. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted a 70 percent likelihood of 10 to 16 named storms, four to eight of which could become hurricanes. However, because Mother Nature can be unpredictable, the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation and the Division of Insurance recommend preparing in advance to minimize the circumstances that can lead to claims from hurricanes.

While the news media tends to focus on the storms when they appear on their radar, you can subscribe to the RSS feed directly from NOAA. 

For our area, you want to subscribe to the Atlantic Basin feeds. Of course, you can also subscribe and watch for the other major storm areas.
