Extremely Active Atlantic Hurricane Season Predicted For 2013 — Florida, East Coast, South, Etc

The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season is gearing up to be an extremely active one according to NOAA’s Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook, which was released yesterday. The outlook, issued by NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, states that there is a 70% chance of there being 13 to 20 named storms this year. Out of these, 7 to 11 will likely become hurricanes, of which 3 to 6 will likely be major hurricanes. By “major hurricanes” the report means Category 3, 4 or 5 storms — winds of 111 mph or more. Image Credit: NOAA/NASA The six-month hurricane season “officially” begins on June 1, though of course, storms follow their “rules”, not human-created ones. The numbers in the 2013 outlook are significantly higher than the seasonal average — 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes. The prospect of another major storm, such as Hurricane Sandy, striking the US is likely in the back of many people’s minds, especially considering that not much has really been done to improve coastal resiliency since that storm. “With the devastation of Sandy fresh in our minds, and another active season predicted, everyone at NOAA is committed to providing life-saving forecasts in the face of these storms and ensuring that Americans are prepared and ready ahead of time.” said Kathryn Sullivan, Ph.D., NOAA acting administrator. “As we saw first-hand with Sandy, it’s important to remember that tropical storm and hurricane impacts are not limited to th ...

Florida teen rejects plea deal in controversial same-sex case

(CNN) — Eighteen-year-old Kaitlyn Hunt, charged with a crime for having sex with a 14-year-old girl, rejected a deal Friday that would have required her to plead guilty to child abuse, according to Hunt’s attorney. Hunt was charged with two felony counts of lewd and lascivious battery after the parents of the 14-year-old went to authorities. Hunt’s family says their relationship was consensual, but in Florida a person under the age of 16 is not legally able to give consent to sex. If Hunt is convicted, she could go to prison for 15 years — a reality that touched off a maelstrom of controversy across the country this past week. The case became widely known when Hunt’s family began an online campaign in defense of their daughter. The plea deal from the Indian River County prosecutor’s office would have required Hunt to plead guilty to felony child abuse, spend two years “on community control,” which usually involves strict supervision, followed by one year of probation. According to the plea deal document, during her probation, Hunt would have had to agree to stay away from the 14-year-old, and to provide her probation officer with immediate access to her Internet and telephone communication. In a statement saying that Hunt was rejecting the plea deal, her attorney, Julia Graves, wrote: “This is a situation of two teenagers who happen to be of the same sex involved in a relationship. If this case involved a boy and girl, there woul ...
