| The hurricane season is brought forward! |
The Hurricane National Center of the United States declared this last Monday
(on the 13th of May 2012) that the hurricane season has already started.
In general,
the season starts on the 1st of June. Yet, a first tropical depression formed in the
Pacific Ocean at more than 1000 km away from the coast - hopefully. In the following
days, this depression might turn itself in a tropical storm. This phenomenon is
rather early in the year that is why the authorities brought forward the
season.
It is
important that everyone is alert about it. Down here in Mexico, the Riviera
Maya has experienced a deserved rest after the trauma of Wilma. A 6 year lull.
We must not keep our eyes closes and think that the slack time will go on
forever. We live in a tropical region. The risk is present, authorities are
aware of it, so are we.
According to Admiral Sergio Javier Lara
Montellano, commandant of the 8th Naval District of the Mexican Army, 2011 saw 19
tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean. Very few of them have reached the coasts.
Such a high number has not been recorded since 1851, according to the National
Service of Meteorology.
Don’t be
scared, be only WELL PREPARED!
You are really welcome.
