It's Hurricane Season
The latest hurricane forecast was released two days ago by Colorado State University's Dr. William Gray and you can read it here (pdf). Basically it says we can expect eight Atlantic basin hurricanes this season and seven tropical storms, with Florida being the most likely state to get hit. A separate interactive Landfall Probability Table gives our area a 6.9% chance of an intense hurricane making landfall this season. Some think we are overdue and under prepared for this possibility (click here for that story) as few now remember the 1938 hurricane nicknamed The Long Island Express.
I started this blog to share with others in the New York-metro area the products I've purchased and the things I've learned in my ongoing process of preparing for any natural or man-made disasters that may happen to us. I also hope to get feedback from those who read this blog and may have advice, tips, and products to recommend. You can also email me directly at: disasterreadynyc@gmail.com. Stay safe!
