Hurricane
Season 2020 The World of Storm Systems A storm, squall, cyclone, typhoon, gale, hurricane, thunderstorm…the list could go on. There are many names out there for rainy weather. As Bermudians, we are adept at checking out the forecast and listening in on storm watches. The summer’s not the same without one or two hurricane warnings. But do we really know much about them? We use these names interchangeably but they do mean different things. There is an art to classifying, naming and tracking these monsters. While we’re no experts we can give you some basic insight into the world of storm systems, so you have some facts for your next hurricane party.
Classifying:
These types of storms are generally rapidly rotating storm systems characterized by low-pressure centers, closed low-level atmospheric circulations with warm air trapped in the center and they produce very strong winds and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain and possible tornadoes. There are some situations that create stormy weather in summer that are not necessarily linked with the large monster tropical cyclones and in their own right can cause damage if one is not prepared. Check out some other distinctions of terms we’re familiar with: Squall
A sudden increase of wind speed by at least 16 knots, the speed rising to 22 knots or more and lasting for at least one minute. It is often accompanied by showers or thunderstorms.
Gale
A n non-tropical low pressure circulation with sustained winds between 34-48 knots (39-55 mph).
Thunderstorm
A type of storm that generates lightning and thunder. It is normally accompanied by heavy precipitation.
Just because there are many different names for a storm system doesn’t make them all equal. According to Wikipedia, in general a storm is “any disturbed state of an environment or astronomical body’s atmosphere especially affecting its surface, and strongly implying severe weather.” They usually come with delightful disruptions to our normal sunny conditions such as strong winds, tornados, hail, thunder, lightening, heavy precipitation, etc… However there are some distinctions in the types of storm systems out there. For example the parent name for an area of low pressure with a circulation is called a cyclone. In the cyclone family there are many members, each having a different definition based on a number of factors. For instance, those tropical cyclone family members are called different names because of the legacy names the communities in that geographical area chose. Tropical cyclones that are known as hurricanes in our waters are called typhoons or simply cyclone in other ocean basins: Hurricanes Occur in the Atlantic Ocean and northeast Pacific Ocean. Typhoons
Occur in the northwest Pacific Ocean
Cyclone
Occur in the south Pacific or Indian Oceans

Naming: Most of us are familiar with the naming of Hurricanes and storms. But there is an art to the naming system. Meteorologists long ago learned that naming tropical storms and hurricanes helps people remember the storms, communicate about them more effectively, and so stay safer if and when a particular storm strikes a coast. Generally, storms are named from a predetermined list, according to a phonetic alphabet (A, B, C etc…) and rotating between male and female. Today, there is a master list which spans six years of projected hurricane names for use for the Atlantic & Caribbean region, which are continually rotated. That means the list of this year’s hurricane names will come up again six years from
OUR TOP 4
HURRICANE BEVERAGES!

The perfect hurricane
now. However for those storms that resulted in mass casualties and significant damage may be retired from the list. e.g. Hurricane Fabian was retired in 2003 due to the damage and loss of life in Bermuda. A Bermuda-wide community vote elected Fred as the replacement name.
Tracking: Most storms form in warm waters several hundred miles north of the equator. Storms frequently form in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and the tropical Atlantic Ocean as far east as the Cape Verde Islands. Systems may also strengthen over the Gulf Stream off the coast of the eastern United States, wherever water temperatures exceed 26.5 °C (79.7 °F). You may think that those seasonal numbers mean a lot – however the Bermuda Weather Service will quickly tell you, that no matter what the annual forecast is for Atlantic/Caribbean tropical activity… it only takes ONE to make it a busy season for our little island. It is important to remember that those forecast numbers are not forecasting Landfall. So, if all those that form remain out at sea, then that really would only affect shipping. However in an “inactive” or “below average” season you can have one that makes landfall numerous times in several different countries! For those who still want to know the averages… in the North Atlantic basin (from 1966 to 2009) 11.3 named storms occur each season, with an average of 6.2 becoming hurricanes and 2.3 becoming major hurricanes.
When is Peak Season? It is true that the Atlantic Ocean peak of the hurricane season occurs in September and corresponds with low wind shear and the warmest sea surface temperatures. The month of September sees an average of 3 storms a year. However, look at these numbers for October!! The month of October is such a close second busy season that we should SO remember that September and October are the peak for Bermuda’s hurricane activity. Over the past 160 years there have been only 10 less in October than September. Of special note is that in recent years October hurricanes have created the most damage – Fay, Gonzalo and Nicole! As June comes to a close and hurricane season starts to ramp up into high gear, meteorologists have their work cut out for them. You have a job to do as well – ensure your family has a hurricane preparedness plan, maybe aligned with the different stages of threat or warnings issued by BWS. Always check on the forecast and tropical update bulletins… the info is only a click away at www.weather.bm and if you are traveling during these months, even if you have a house sitter, it is best to hurricane protect your house before you leave. No one can secure it better than you! Get to know the terms and what they mean so you’ll be ready and maybe have a fact or two for your next hurricane party.

GENERATORS
7 tips for maintaining your portable generator Here we go again—rummaging through your garage for your portable generator. A hurricane will be bearing down in just a matter of hours, but just when you go to fire your backup power source up… nothing! The generator won’t start.
Don’t be stuck with a broken generator. Proper generator maintenance is essential if you want to avoid panicked maintenance calls and unneeded, last-minute stress. Keep your portable generator running strong with these seven maintenance tips:
1. Run your portable generator every few months
Just like humans, generators need to get a little exercise every once in a while. Electrical experts agree that running your generator every few months will keep the electric starter’s battery fresh and charged. Before firing up your dusty portable generator, make sure it’s outside in a well-ventilated area to avoid breathing in harmful fumes.
2. Routinely check the fuel in your portable generator
Chances are you only use your portable generator a couple times every year, if even that often! In the interim, don’t make the mistake of leaving old gasoline sitting in the generator’s fuel tank. To prevent stale fuel, either add a fuel stabilizer to the tank, or empty the remaining gas at least once a year. We don’t recommend letting oil just sit in the tank between fire ups either; instead, fill it with fresh gasoline right before the next storm hits.
3. Check your fuel lines
With time and usage, your portable generator’s fuel lines can become cracked, torn, or clogged. This can prevent the supply of gas from reaching the fuel system and cause your generator to not start or run efficiently. While you can do some DIY work to clear a clogged fuel line, it’s often easier and more reassuring to simply replace a worn or problematic fuel line— especially because they’re sold in many sizes and are often pretty cheap.
4. Stock up on extra oil
Powering your refrigerator and stove is hard on your generator’s oil! If you’re running your generator that hard, you’ll need to change your oil frequently. Since you can expect to change the oil every 50 hours (only 25 hours for the first oil change), keep an ample supply of oil in your garage.
5. Replace or clean that dirty air filter
Most experts will say that if an air filter looks dirty, ditch it for a new one. This is solid advice, as the thin mess of these filters can really wear down with time and use. If it rips or becomes damaged, this could mean real bad news for your generator if left neglected. If you do decide to clean your generator’s air filter instead of replacing it, use caution to avoid tearing the filter. Wash in soapy water and dry gently with a clean cloth or allow 24 hours to air-dry completely before inserting back into your unit. Much like generator fuel lines, air filters are relatively cheap so it’s probably easier to just replace it to avoid future problems.
6. Check in on your spark plugs
A relatively common reason portable generators won’t start is because of a bad spark plug. Either the plug is dirty, compromising its connection, or it could be on its last leg and have trouble igniting. Either way, if the plug isn’t creating an arc of electricity, your generator could be struggling to power up. Make sure your engine has fully cooled before removing your plug and inspecting it. If it’s marred up, clean it with a wire brush and insert back into your generator with a torque wrench. When doing this yourself, be careful not to over-crank and strip the threads on your plug, which could compromise your connection or even break your porcelain insulator and cause damage to your engine. If the plug looks fine on the outside, try swapping it out for a new one and see if that helps. Even if your generator isn’t experiencing problems and you’re just giving it a routine checkup, it might be time to replace the plug. As a general rule of thumb, if your air filter is dirty enough to need cleaning or replacement, it’s time to replace that spark plug too.
7. Invest in a long, heavy-duty extension cord
It’s no secret, generators are loud! To cut down on noise, most people position their portable generator further away from the house. But as an extension cord increases in length or decreases in gauge, the amount of voltage it can carry diminishes. This could mean that your generator is working harder to transmit less power, and have extra unnecessary wear on your unit over time. If you place your generator at distance, make sure you use a heavy duty 12-gauge cord, no longer than 100 feet. We hope these tips will help you to ensure that your generator is ready to go when you need it most!

STORM READY! Make sure you’re safe during the storm! Expert Advice from TreeCon Limited Investing in storm protection for our homes is one of life’s necessities when living on an island. We know it can be quite expensive… but the price of NOT doing it can be far more. If you have lived in Bermuda long enough, you’ve surely experienced a storm or 2 or even the thrill of weathering out a Hurricane and know how much damage can occur. At TreeCon, we are experts in the field of storm protection of every type. We realise that the style of storm protection can widely vary based on personal preference. Some may choose the classic tried and true Bermuda Shutters while other go a step farther by installing hurricane screens or roller shutters depending on what you prefer. We have some clients who prefer an alternative to standard plywood and go with the quick installation of polycarbonate sheets, which are easy to install, just as easy to take down after the storm. The most important part of weathering the storm, is making sure you and your family, home and business are secure and TreeCon is here for YOU! Here are some great tips and tricks to weather the storm will not only guide you but potentially save you loads of money.
1. CREATE A CHECK LIST
The first thing tackle when looking to upgrade your storm protection is to create a check list. Go through your home and take note of the areas that are of concern or potential weak spots during a storm. This will help guide you when making decisions. If you’re not exactly sure where you should start or what to do our technicians at TreeCon are always available to assist. Have one of our team members come out and assess your home, give you our best suggestion and provide a FREE estimate for storm protection.
2. FRENCH DOORS
or fixed door. Check to see how the fixed door is secured at the top and bottom and that all pieces are working. For added strength you can install slide locks (also called head and foot bolts) at the top and bottom.
3. ASSESS YOUR HARDWARE
Spend some time on each window, blind and door to look at all of the latches, catches and/or barrel bolts to ensure that they are secure AND that they are not rusted. Again, make a checklist and replace any hardware that is looking questionable.
4 GARAGE DOORS
Test your garage doors to ensure that all the mechanisms are working correctly and that the locking system is secure. If you have any concerns schedule a service appointment! Our trained technicians are qualified to service any garage door system and can ensure that your garage system is up to par and that it is storm ready.
5. WINDOWS
These cause us the most concern during a storm. Once you are confident that your hardware is up to scratch, start to look at additional ways that you can add protection. While most of us rely on the classic Bermuda Shutters there may areas that need more. This is where roller shutters, hurricane screens and the polycarbonate sheets come in which are our most common options. We keep the Polycarbonate Panels in stock if you are looking to upgrade for this season! If you’re feeling overwhelmed at this point DON’T be! Get in touch via email on treeconltd@treecon.bm or give us a call 295-4771 and arrange a FREE consultation – we want to keep you, and Bermuda, safe and secure this hurricane season.
