Just because there are fewer hurricanes forecast for this year than there were in 2010 doesn’t mean it’s time to relax, warned officials on Thursday. According to the U.S. National Hurricane Center, the 2011 hurricane season will be very active, with a predicted 12 to 18 named storms. Six to 10 of them are predicted to be hurricanes; three to six, major hurricanes. Last year there were 19 named storms and five major hurricanes. Record warm surface temperatures in the North Atlantic mixed with the predicted absence of storm-calming El Nino in the Pacific are providing the foundations for powerful storms this year. And it just takes a direct hit
Earl and Igor were the big hurricanes that crashed into Atlantic Canada last year. Earl caused power outages and tree damage to several neighbourhoods in HRM on Sept. 4. Two weeks later, Igor, considered one of the worst storms in Newfoundland’s history, left floods and wind damage in its wake.

the province’s Emergency Management Office. “We don’t really mind if a hurricane decides to give Nova Scotia a wide berth, but we want to be ready for it anyway because we know from experience they all won’t be so generous,” Lathem said. And the 2011 outlook, while more modest than last year’s, is still above-average for a hurricane season.
