When the big storms hit we lose power and all the things you take for granted become more valuable. Like lights, air conditioning, and even an Internet connection for wkrg.com. Check wkrg.com for hurricane information. You might be surprised at what you find. Click on Weather and you’ll find satellite loops for the Gulf and for the Atlantic Ocean. When a storm is active you get coordinates and forecast tracks in the interactive tracker. In quiet stretches you can use the tracker to go back to see any tropical storm or hurricane in the past decade. Go to Weather Education to find over half a dozen articles on tropical weather and preparation. Read up on hurricane facts so you don’t get fooled by the myths. You probably remember recent hurricanes but did you know there were major hurricanes in 1906, 1916, and 1926? Read about these historic events and find streaming video on recent storms.

We talk about wkrg.com all the time but it is definitely the one stop place to shop for hurricane information. Of course, it’s all free. Satellites, radars, information on past hurricanes that have affected our area. From the Weather section to the Weather Education section it’s all there.

Focus on the ABCs of hurricane preparation. Are you in a storm surge zone? Follow the links to see the zones and review your evacuation routes. Of course you can sign up for our First Alert Storm Alert bulletins and check the Weather Radio links to find where to purchase a discounted Weather Radio. Click on the hurricane chart link if you want to print a paper tracking chart. If you’re looking for pictures or streaming video we’ve got those too for Ivan, Dennis and Katrina as well as cool satellite photos to download and use as desktop wallpaper.

The information is on wkrg.com 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It’s worth checking out.
