Hurricane Season is usually cranking by now, but there have been late starting seasons that turned into doozies. The folks in South Florida remember a late starting season that was devasting for them. Ever heard of Hurricane Andrew? That storm was the first named storm of the 1992 Hurricane Season.
The early morning hours of August 24, 1992 a small, but fierce category 5 hurricane Andrew ripped through Homestead, Florida. Go to the National Hurricane Center website to learn about past storms that hit North Carolina like Hazel, Donna, Connie, Edna, Fran, Floyd, and Isabel to name a few.
North Carolina is most vulnerable to a hurricane strike in August, September, and October. September has more hurricane landfalls in our state than any other month, so the season may be late getting started this year, but the prime time has yet to arrive. Check out my Tropical Weather Center links to keep tabs on this year's storms.
