Hurricane Season on the Atlantic Coast of the United States

Brief Note by Kip Hansen — 21 August 2024
It is Hurricane Season in the northern hemisphere. In the United States, this is a concern almost exclusively of the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. There have been hurricanes landfalling on the Pacific Coast – but very rarely.
Every news outlet has been repeatedly telling us that NOAA’s National Hurricane Center has predicted “an extremely active hurricane season” for the Atlantic Basin.
For more than a decade, my wife and I spent hurricane seasons on our sailing catamaran in the Northern Caribbean, when we felt confident, or on the southern Atlantic Coast of the United States, during those hurricane seasons when we felt less confident. We were hit only once in 12 years, and that was, as you may have guessed, not in the Caribbean but rather up north in Beaufort, North Carolina by Hurricane Florence.
