This June 1, 2021, marked the beginning of the Atlantic Hurricane season and NOAA predicts a likelihood of 13 to 20 named storms with sustained winds of at least 39mph. According to NOAA, an average season produces 14 named storms, including seven hurricanes, of which three become major Category 3 storms or above with top winds of at least 111 mph. NOAA’S forecast mirrors a similar prediction made in early April by Colorado State University forecasters.
Climatologists with the Colorado State University Tropical Weather and Climate Research Team forecasted 17 named storms with four of those being major category 3 and above storms. There was also a 44% chance of at least one major hurricane making landfall somewhere along the gulf coast. Last year the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season ended up with a record number of tropical systems. Not only did they go through their normal listed names, but also got into the Greek alphabet
for the second time ever in the history of named tropical storms. Twelve of the storms made landfall in the U.S., including nine that hit the Gulf Coast. From the Cameron County preparedness disaster plan, they encourage everyone to be prepared and make a personal disaster preparedness plan. First, plan by jotting down your emergency point of contacts, choose a meeting place, create an evacuation plan, plan for the needs of the elderly, disabled, children & pets
and share your emergency plan with family members. Second, build a kit. Create a checklist of essential supplies, create a checklist of important documents, have a “Disaster Supply Kit” container/bag ready, and have an “Emergency Document bag ready. Thirdly, know the types of disasters in your area, stay informed about the emergency/disaster, learn the difference between “Watch” vs. “Warning,” and have different sources of information (online, mobile phone weather
app, television, radio, and NOAA Weather radio. Also, if you live in a hurricane evacuation zone and will need transportation to get out before the storm arrives, dial 2-1-1 and register in advance for a ride. You may also want to register your phone for “Reverse 9-1-1” Emergency notification. Just call 855-879-1911 or visit www.cameroncounty911. com.
