The Atlantic Hurricane Season is Only 95 Days Away... and one of them is a "Karen"!

If it seems like we are still recovering from the record setting 2024 Hurricane Season, that’s because we still are and the effects of hurricanes like Beryl ($30 billion estimated costs) and Debby ($28 billion estimated costs) will reverberate for years to come. In total, it is estimated that the 2024 hurricane season will cost a staggering $500 billion dollars.

We can’t stop hurricanes. However, earlier warnings and preparation can greatly reduce the human and economic costs as well as accelerate recovery.
