Atmospheric Pressures are Likely to Pull in More Hurricanes this Season

andrewSequence_hg.jpgLast year was the third busiest hurricane season on record. However, and while that was the third busiest hurricane season on record, the United States was spared a direct strike by any storm last year.

Part of the reason why the United States was spared a direct strike last year was because the United States was protected from major storm damage by a trough, or an elongated area of low pressure, that helped keep all the hurricanes and all but one tropical storm from striking the United States.

However, and as this hurricane season gets underway, that same trough is setting up across the Mississippi Valley. And if it stays there, many are predicting that the trough is going to act like a magnet and pull many storms into the southeastern United States or mid-Atlantic region.

Other factors are also working in favor of an active hurricane season. For instance, the position of this year’s Bermuda-High, a semipermanent area of high pressure over the North Atlantic, may also drive storms closer to the United States.

As such, we will be faced with a much higher threat of a land-falling hurricane this upcoming hurricane season.

Indeed, history suggests that South Florida is due for a hurricane strike. Therefore, this is certainly not the season to take lightly. We’ve been spared the last few years, but this could be the year where we are hit by another hurricane. Hurricanes are a fact of life living in South Florida. Although inevitable, they are not surprises like earthquakes or tsunamis. You can prepare and be ready for a hurricane.

Considering the increased odds of South Florida getting hit by a storm you should take the necessary steps to safeguard your property and family. One exercise that is a must is a review of your insurance policy to determine what is excluded from your policy. Most importantly, review what you’re supposed to do in the event your property is damaged in a windstorm. You should also check the financial strength of your insurance company, and stock up on food supplies.
