Ideas Worth Sharing:
“The storms in the Pacific do not seem to affect the United States like the Atlantic ones do.” - Erik Bjornstad
“The further away you try to predict something, the less accurate it will be. That’s why they provide updated predictions.” - Erik Bjornstad
“If you look at the last thirty years of activity, from 1991 through 2020, the average number of named storms that we had was 14. They’re predicting 18 named storms so, already, you have an above-average hurricane season.” - Erik Bjornstad
“A named hurricane is large enough that it will eventually make landfall, but not always in the United States.” - Erik Bjornstad
“Typically, June and July are not quite as busy, which makes those the prime times to make sure your systems are ready for what’s going to happen.” - Erik Bjornstad
“It's really important to check the condition of your fuel.” - Erik Bjornstad
