Atlantic Hurricane Season Starts Today

Today June 1st is officially the first day of the Atlantic Hurricane Season! Many predictions on how many storms have been made by experts and non-experts alike. But it’s not really on the number of Hurricanes we get this year, it is “ The One” that eventually will hit a populated area on the coast of the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico. Will it be this season or another season? This is the main question we all have. It has been 10 years since the last major hurricane has hit the US coast. (Hurricane Andrew 1992). Are you prepared?

Here at the Central Florida Hurricane Center we want to welcome back all of you and those of you who found this site for the first time. We are not an official hurricane site, but we do have some very knowledgeable folks who post in the forums with predictions, current storms and all other aspects of tropical weather. This is an interactive site and we welcome you to post your feelings, predictions and anything storm related. If a system is out there you can be assured we all will be tracking it.
