The start of hurricane season may be here in less than 2 months but it is possible that there won't be much going on until August. That would mean we are still over 4 months away. I personally think we'll see activity as early as mid June, maybe late May in the Caribbean :wink:

Just a month or so from the first tropical system of the EPAC. From 2000 - 2005, the first system of the EPAC formed in late May. The first name will be "Aletta."

we are still burning debris. I hope they fix everything in time. as I go down the streets, I see all of these blue tarps, and I see half, if not 1/4 of a roof done, like with all of the shingles peeled off. this is going to make for one scary season.if a small hurricane comes, with not a lot of strength, it will make a lot more damage than everyone thinks.
