Hurricane Season Predictions 2011

Have you prepared an emergency plan for your family in case a natural disaster strikes your area. It's a fact that weather related disasters are on an increase in this country and throughout the world. The following is the current forecast for the upcoming hurricane season.

Weather forecasting teams are predicting an active hurricane season for 2011, calling for an above-average number of storms to form in the Atlantic Hurricane Basin.

Earth Networks’ WeatherBug meteorology team foresees a lower number of expected hurricanes in comparison to 2010, but its numbers are still trending above what is considered to be a normal tropical storm season.

Specifically, Earth Networks expects a total of 13-14 named storms to form, with 7-8 becoming hurricanes. Of those, it expects four will become strong enough to be classified at “intense” storms—Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale.

On June 9th -12th Joel Reets (President), Jeremy Reets (C.E.O.) & Gary Anderson (General Manager) of Champion Construction Systems, Inc. attended the Crawford Contractor Connection Conference at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. This year the conference focused on keys to customer service that will drive the growth and expansion of the Contractor Connection network in 2009 and beyond. The conference included various speakers who provided helpful insights to all. Jeremy Reets spoke about “Measuring and Creating Evaporation Potential” which provided a scientific explanation of the effect that drying equipment has on the drying process. There was also a conference expo that provided access to over 70 exhibitors who are key service providers to the insurance, restoration, and remodeling industries.  The highlight of the convention was, by far, the honor of receiving “The Strength of Working Together” Performance Excellence Award for the Southeast District.  As part of the award, Champion received a football autographed by Brian Holloway, a Stanford All-American and five-time NFL All-Pro.
