Entry bubble Tracking hurricanes

By: Jess | August 20, 2009 | Category: Travel

HurricaneThe peak of hurricane season is now here, ushered in by the arrival of Ana and Bill. The southeastern part of the country will now be on alert until the middle of the fall when hurricane season passes. But hurricane season affects more than the people living in Florida, the Carolinas, or other hurricane-prone states. It also affects vacationers who plan fun get-aways to the South.

I know every year when my family planned our vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for August, my mom would always pay close attention to the weather to see if any storms were a-brewin'. A hurricane far off the coast usually meant awesome waves, but anything that moved too close to shore had the potential to rain out our beach vacation.

NOAA's making it easier for people to track hurricanes by offering widgets that can be embedded on Websites and blogs. These widgets make it super easy to track the hurricanes. You won't have to be glued to the TV trying to catch the latest.

And to give residents and vacationers some peace of mind, NOAA's predicting this year's hurricane season will most likely be average to below average in terms of the number of hurricanes developing. People are still advised to be on alert if they plan to travel to or live in the areas most affected by the Atlantic hurricane season.

That is an amazing image! I can't stand hurricanes. I bought a condominium in Florida on time and a month later hurricane Jean blew the roof off. My life has never been the same since.
