HURRICANE 3X CAPITAL

Hurricanes are dangerous and can cause great damage through storm surge, winds, rip currents and flooding. They can occur on any coastline in the US or in any territory in the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans. Historically, storm surge is the leading cause of hurricane-related deaths in the United States.

Hurricane season begins in Florida in June and lasts until November. This is the official calendar for the season, although the US meteorological services have recorded hurricane activity outside the season, it is important to pay attention to warnings from authorities.

The Saffir-Simpson scale measures the intensity of hurricane winds, which allows an estimate of the risks and potential damage of a given hurricane. The categories are defined by the speed of sustained winds (speed maintained for 1 minute).

Saffir-Simpson scale categories:

* Category 1 – Winds between 119 and 153 km/h. No damage or casualties

* Category 2 – Winds between 154 and 177 km/h. Some damage and power outages

* Category 3 – Winds between 178 and 209 km/h. Considerable damage, possible flooding

* Category 4 – Winds between 210 and 249 km/h. Extensive damage, flooding, possible casualties

* Category 5 – Winds above 249 km/h. Destruction, major flooding, risk of death

Preparing for hurricane season begins long before a storm is even in sight, providing the perfect opportunity to review hurricane safety supplies, plans, and best practices.
