Atlantic hurricane season to be near normal or above normal.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration officials in
Tampa say that means there is a 60 to 70 percent chance of 12 to 16
named storms, six to nine hurricanes and two to five major
hurricanes forming.
But they stress coastal residents should always be prepared.
They don't predict whether, where or when any of these storms may
hit land.
An average season has 11 named storms, including six hurricanes
for which two reach major status.
Forecasters and emergency responders fear that coastal residents
will be apathetic this year after the United States escaped the
past two storm seasons virtually unscathed.
