AOL.com<\/em> ran an interesting story today about the hurricane drought in the Atlantic and how it may have stymied\u00a0efforts by emergency managers to prepare for the next one to hit the US coast. \u00a0It has been ten years since the last significant hurricane season in 2005, and many people who live along the coast have never experienced any storm, much less a major hurricane. \u00a0Some areas like coastal Georgia have not experienced a storm in more than a century.<\/p>\n

Sooner or later, the weather patterns will shift back to a configuration which steers the storms onto land rather than staying over the ocean, and then the real test of emergency management will begin. \u00a0If you live or work along one of the magnificent coasts of the Southeast, you will be interested in what this article<\/a> has to say.<\/p>\n
