Hi everybody. Today marks the beginning of the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season.NOAA, along with other experts are still suggesting a normal season with no elevated hurricane activity. Right now, we are in a neutral state but this could start to emerge a an El Nino later in the summer. As you know, El Nino tends to create upper level winds that blow the tops off of developing stoms thus helping to hinder their development. But, bear in mind that it only takes one storm to make it a bad year. Even with a good forecast, planning and preparing are still imperitive. Now is the time to get ready. You can print a free hurricane supply list right here. 

        Updates will be issued by Hurricane Central as often as necessary. Whwn things are quiet, we try to keep your inbox from filling up too much. You can obtain a FREE tracking map with the current edition of your Hometown News. If you are not a FREE subscriber, you can do so HERE.
