Unfortunately, looking to historic records to predict the likelihood of future hurricanes can’t be done with the global warming we are now facing. The odds of another big one are rising.

The rise in average sea level and the rise of global and local temperatures are not a matter of debate, they are scientific facts. And the trends are not encouraging. I pray that none of us in harm’s way have to face a big one, but there’s no denying it’s more likely than it used to be.

Plan accordingly!
