It was another beautiful day outside. It's also June 1 and that means it's the official start of the hurricane season. We may have great weather now, but it's never too early to prepare for a hurricane. Make sure you have a hurricane kit ready and waiting. Some of the items you'll want to store are a 5-7 day supply of food and water, first aid kit, radio, flashlight and batteries, medications, and if you have a pet, food and supplies for them as well. Here's the outlook, in the Atlantic, we expect 6-9 hurricanes and 5-8 in the East Pacific. Here in the Central North Pacific, the season is expected to be slightly less active than normal with 3-4 named tropical storms. Speaking of names, next up on the list are Kika, Lana, Maka and Neki.
