2019 and 2020 Hurricane Names - Atlantic Basin / Eastern North-Pacific

 2019 and 2020 Hurricane Names

As one who has endured quite a few Gulf of Mexico hurricanes, I always am keeping up and tracking the hurricanes and tropical storms.  Hurricane Ike and Hurricane Harvey were the two most memorable hurricanes that I went through. 

During the 2019 hurricane season as well as the 2020 hurricane season, from what I am seeing, being we are in what they call a 70 year cycle, we will see pretty much the same activity we saw in that past two hurricane seasons, the 2017 hurricane season as well as the 2018 hurricane season.

I am not one to predict geographic locations for where the hurricanes, tropical storms and/or tropical depressions will form or make landfall.  Nor do I project the strength of the hurricanes in advance.  There are plenty of others out there who predict and speculate and I will leave that all up to them.

I would suggest that if you are in a geographic area where tropical activity may occur, that you be prepared with an evacuation plan as well as an emergency / hurricane kit to help you survive during and after a hurricane or tropical storm event. The following link is showing what our hurricane and natural disaster emergency kit contains as well as a preparedness checklist.
