USA Today’s Web site offers quite a bit of its own information on hurricanes plus links to numerous other hurricane sites. Their history section has a long list of links to historical information.

The government is, of course, responsible for informing us of and protecting us from hurricanes. They take their responsibility quite seriously, offering several Web sites designed to help people learn about hurricanes. "Hurricanes" is the main site, and it offers numerous links to other government sites. The one I find most interesting is the National Hurricane Center’s Tropical Predication Center <http://www.nhc.noaa.gov>. I also like Christopher Landsea’s answers to Frequently Asked Questions <http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/tcfaqHED.html> and the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s hurricane site for kids <http://www.fema.gov/kids/hurr.htm> |

This is William Gray’s Tropical Meteorology Project Web site. Gray and his team forecast the number and severity of hurricanes we will experience each season, and they’re usually pretty close to right. Their forecasts get a lot of press when they first come out. If you want to beat the newspapers, you can go directly to their forecasts at <http://typhoon.atmos.colostate.edu/forecasts> |
