The Time to Act is Now

The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season begin today.

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration has forecasted 14-23 named storms and 8-14 hurricanes for the 2010 hurricane season.

The Gulf Coast isn’t the only vulnerable area – the East Coast is expected to see hurricanes as well. Weather Services International Chief Meteorologist Dr. Todd Crawford said the coastal area from North Carolina to Maine may see as much activity as Florida and the Gulf.
