Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 13 years and 11 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

It’s time for the 2011 hurricane season. 15 named storms are predicted this year, but let’s hope it’s quiet like last year:

2010’s historic season had a total of 19 named storms and ranks as the third most active season on record, but there was little impact on the United States coastline. Twelve of these storms became hurricanes, five of which were major hurricanes. Two names from the 2010 season were retired on March 16.

Usually we spend Memorial Day weekend re-stocking our hurricane closet supplies but since we were out of town this year we did that two weeks ago. Hopefully we’re all set, just in case. Oh, and if you’re wondering, here are this year’s storm names.
