NOAA's Atlantic Seasonal Hurricane Outlook

Well...with only a week before the official beginning of the 2008 hurricane season...NOAA this past week presented the Climate Prediction Center's outlook for hurricane activity.  Due to the waning La Nina and continued above average sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic...the prediction is for a slightly above average season this year.  Now...I must say...more importantly...any year can be devastating to your boat, property, and life.  It is imperative that you prepare now.  Make a plan if there is a hurricane or tropical storm headed for your area.  If you have a boat...know exactly what measures you are going to avoid danger.  Last piece of advice...it is never a good idea to "weather the storm" whether that be on a boat or at the beach house.
