The typical hurricane season is from June to December. Due to the increased population and continued coastal growth, you must be prepared when a hurricane strikes.
Hurricanes bring high winds, rain and tidal surges.
Local flooding typically follows. Wind gusts have exceeded 160mph in some hurricanes, which are often followed by intense tornadoes. It is not unusual for a storm to spawn in excess of 100 tornadoes. The hurricane does the majority of its damage at the shoreline. This is where most of the loss of life and severe property damage will be.
