HURRICANE NEWS IT’S COMING MAKE A PLAN AFTER THE STORM

HURRICANE SEASON STARTS JUNE 1st THRU NOVEMBER 30th

NOAA  NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER and CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER NOAA

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane’s sustained wind speed. This scale estimates potential property damage. Hurricanes reaching Category 3 and higher are considered major hurricanes because of their potential for significant loss of life and damage. Category 1 and 2 storms are still dangerous, however, and require preventative measures. In the western North Pacific, the term “super typhoon” is used for tropical cyclones with sustained winds exceeding 150 mph
