Forecasters have warned the weather will last for five months as 12 to 14 storms will batter the US. The season will run from June 1 through to November 30. AccuWeather Atlantic Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski has warned that everyone living on the coast should have a hurricane plan in place.
He told AccuWeather: “Now is the time to start planning. Of those people who were impacted by Florence and Michael last year.
“The ones who did not have plans in place had the most difficulty in dealing with the storm when it was occurring and during the recovery.”
Mr Kottlowski highlights six ways to prepare for the powerful weather.
He noted evacuation planning is key as well as stocking up on supplies.
