Member Center:
We're into September -- the busiest of the hurricane months. With our recent flurry of tropical activity in the open Atlantic, the questions come up almost daily: are we done this season?
One of the most dramatic, damaging, and potentially deadly events that occur in this country is a hurricane. The force of the wind alone can cause tremendous devastation.
Floods are one of the most common hazards in the United States. Flood effects can be local, impacting a neighborhood or community, or very large, affecting entire river basins and multiple states.
All hurricanes are given names. Why is that? To help us identify storms and track them as they move across the ocean.
When a hurricane threatens, you may have to decide whether you can safely ride out the storm.
