Prepare the Home for 2011 Hurricane Season
RISMEDIA, May 17, 2011—Batten down the hatches—plus the windows, doors and roof. Hurricane Season 2011 starts on June 1 and—based on expert predictions—it could be a whopper. At Colorado State University, forecasters believe the number of named storms will reach 16, and they predict there’s a 72 percent chance that the entire United States coastline will be affected by at least one major hurricane landfall in 2011. The Weather Research Center in Houston has forecast at least 10 named storms in 2011 with six of them projected to intensify into hurricanes. And, they’re predicting that coastal areas in west Florida, Louisiana and Alabama have a 90 percent chance that they’ll be in the line.
