Busy Hurricane Season...
* Hearing from Dr. Richard Knabb of the NHC...He is the Science and Operations Officer at the National Hurricance Center, and he has brought up some very interesting statistics.He says that since 1995, we are in a busy cycle of many "major" Atlantic hurricanes. This year was certainly no exception, with 16 named storms (10 is the average).
3100 people died in hurricanes in 2004, including 60 in the United States. Property damage in the U.S. was near $44 billion, which makes 2004 the costliest hurricane season on record.
* Will continue to post updates throughout the day!
