Yes, today is the first day of the 2008 Hurricane Season which lasts for the next six months. The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that it predicts we will have a ‘near normal or above normal Atlantic hurricane season.’ Talk about ambiguity. I trust them to track the storms, but don’t put much weight on their predictions. I think they’ve been more often incorrect in their predictions.
The 2008 tropical storm names are:
Arthur
Bertha
Cristobal
Dolly
Edouard
Fay
Gustav
Hanna
Ike
Josephine
Kyle
Laura
Marco
Nana
Omar
Paloma
Rene
Sally
Teddy
Vicky
Wilfred
In the event of more than 21 names storms, the Greek Alphabet will then be used.
In the next few days, we’ll be discussing several things that you should do to be prepared for weathering a storm. In the meantime, here are some links that you may find useful:

Hoping that this is an easy and light storm season for all of us!
