Return Period In Years of Hurricanes of Category One

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), provides information regarding the frequency in which Category 1 hurricanes impact coastal locations such as Florida and Houston, Texas.

NOAA, has given a graph, shown above, in which you can see that a Category 1 hurricane impacts the state of Florida, every four to six years. About six years ago, Hurricane Katrina hit the state, which resulted in monetary losses of $1 to $2 billion dollars in damage. It also left 1 million people without electricity. Many Florida residents who did not own a generator, were left without power and suffered through the days without air conditioning, hot water or light.

Since we are now within the 6-year cycle of instensifying storms, knowing this information should be taken as an incentive, to begin preparing for the hurricane season as the chances of being in the path of a hurricane are very high. Purchasing a propane gas emergency standby generator, will allow you to maintain your quality of life after the storm. There are many quality generators for your home, and you should not wait until the last minute to make the purchase.

AccuWeather’s Expert Senior Meteorologist, Alex Sosnowski, states, “At present, the area being watched is non-tropical, but rather an upper-level pocket of cool air. This area, known as a closed low, was generating a broad region of clouds, showers and thunderstorms.”

This early development could be a sign of things to come for Florida and Houston, Texas? As Mr. Sosnowski explains, in the year of 2003, there was an early formation of a tropical depression in the Atlantic, which led to a busy hurricane season. This, however, is not a concrete indicator this year will be the same, but should be taken into consideration.

Preparation for the hurricane season should not be left for the last minute. It is important to research and purchase the necessary supplies for your home, such as a quality generator. These propane gas generators allow you to power your home seconds after losing power, which will help you save your possessions and maintain your quality of life.
