Active Atlantic targets another busy hurricane season
South Carolina officials heard warnings of another active year as warm Atlantic sea temperatures and a weak El Nino raise the odds of stronger storms. National Hurricane Center expert Stacy Stewart cautioned that while four Florida hurricanes are unlikely, more intense hurricanes could occur over the next two decades. He noted spring temperatures already exceed last year’s levels, fueling potential storms.

South Carolina braced as hurricane season looms again
A National Hurricane Center specialist warned state officials that this season may be as active as last year due to warm sea temperatures and a weak El Nino. Last year saw 15 named systems and $45 billion in US damage, with four tropical centers crossing into South Carolina for the first time since 1893 and Charley and Gaston threatening Charleston County. The emergency management conference runs through Wednesday with talks on WMD exercises, terrorism extremism, and inland hurricane effects.
