National Hurricane Center announces names ahead of the 2020 season

Even though it feels like we just got out of it, we are now less than 4 months away from the 2020 hurricane season. Thinking ahead, the National Hurricane Center has released the storm names for this year.

The first one for this year will be named Arthur. Following that is Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly, Eduoard, Fay, Gonzalo, Hanna, Isaias, Josephine, Kyle, Laura, Marco, Nana, Omar, Paulette, Rene, Sally, Teddy, Vicky and Wilfred.

Last year's season saw the formation of its first named storm before June 1st, as well as 18 named storms in total. Hurricane season kicks off June 1st and lasts through November 30th. If you are new to Florida and hurricanes, it is recommended that you prepare ahead of time to avoid running low or being unable to stock up on essential supplies.
