OK, folks — here it is: The 2010 Hurricane Season has officially started today.
This year promises to bring an active season.
And, unfortunately, we have a new dynamic to worry about in the Gulf of Mexico: where’s all the oil from the spill going to go if a strong hurricane sweeps by?
Of course, hurricane season doesn’t need to be all gloom, but it never hurts to be prepared, right?
Here are the latest National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) hurricane predictions:
- 14 to 23 (yikes) named storms will form.
- There’ll likely be 8 to 14 hurricanes.
- We may see 3 to 7 major hurricanes, which pack winds of 111 MPH or greater.
