Do you think there will be Hugo, Andrew, or Katrina like storms

I saw on CNN that this summer is probably going to see some major hurricane activity due to El Nino. Hurricane season started June 1.

Just by historical probability look towards the east coast of florida, (miami area) or the outer banks in North Carolina.
NC & SC haven't had a strong storm in that area since 1989 when Hurricane Hugo tore up the area.
It's been since 1992 since hurricane andrew.
statistically, they're due for something.
Those are my thoughts.

Sadly, I think so.
The waters in the Atlantic are already warm. And Hurricane Season lasts until November 30th.
I think likely targets will be:
- Mobile, AL
- West Palm Beach, FL
- Wrightsville Beach, NC
- Chesapeake Bay area, VA, DC, MD, DE, PA

You will probally never know until it happens...Katrina went over us (miami) and it was pretty devastating...then it kept going and struck Missisippi Louisiana and those places...you can never really predict...i dont care if you are an expert meterologist...you will never know until that storm comes...my advice is to be prepared...know where in your house that you are going to take shelter and clear the clutter out of that area...buy some flashlights and some batteries and put them in your closet until you need them...as for now we can only wait...personally i think there may be 2 big storms that will threaten the US

At this point, it is, of course, impossible to say for sure.
That said, in my opinion, it's not a matter of 'will there be one,' but rather 'how many will there be.'
Location, well, that truly is impossible to predict...number wise, though, based on previous years, two would be my lowest guess (we've already had one - the town of Haviland, Kansas is literally -no more- in case you missed that bit of news).
Just...don't buy a new house in the plains or on the Gulf Coast. Unless you over-insure it...

Hi. Hugh storms are unpredictable, but the trend may mean larger, more powerful storms as the ocean temperatures increase.

They way the hurricane storm centers are predicting it looks like it. Unfortunately, the panhandle states do get hit hard.

Yeah. Killer hurricanes are more common if global warming continues. Act now and stop these storms!
