Hurricane season is underway, so all those folks in Florida & The Gulf States are anxiously awaiting to see if we’re gonna get another Katrina this year. The forecast doesn’t look good:
According to the Colorado State University’s June update there is a 48% chance for a major hurricane making landfall along the US East Coast and a similar 47% chance somewhere along the US Gulf Coast. Of all the states, Florida will have the highest risk for a land-falling hurricane (71%) and major hurricane (34%). Texas is next with a 50% hurricane risk and a 20% major hurricane risk followed closely by Louisiana at 47% and 20% respectively.
