2006 Hurricane Season expected to be busy

Although the National Hurricane Center doesn't expect a repeat of the record-making 2005 hurricane season, they have predicted that their will be between four to six major hurricanes, with as many as 16 named storms. Additionally, Max Mayfield, the director for National Hurricane Center, suggests that everyone on the gulf coast prepare for a storm, since it only takes one hurricane hitting your town to make it a "bad season."

Along with putting together emergency supplies and learning evacuation routes, now is the time to check your insurance to make sure you are covered in the case of a hurricane. Once you know that a hurricane is on its way to your hometown, it is too late to buy additional insurance.
