How is ISPs hurricane response planning going? https://thehill.com/homenews/news/490821-scientists-predict-more-major-hurricanes-than-normal-in-2020-seasonMeteorologists are forecasting a significant hurricane and tropical storm season for the Atlantic coast in 2020, according to researchers at Colorado State University.
[...]According to the early projections, there is a 69 percent chance that at least one major hurricane will make landfall along a U.S. coastline in 2020, compared to a regular average of 52 percent that has been reported over the last century.
[...]"Two of the last three years have had major hurricane landfalls in the U.S.," Miller said.
He added that before 2017, there was a 12-year drought without a single major hurricane landfall in the country, from Hurricane Wilma in 2005 to Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
