This season is expected to be "another very active hurricane season," with 13-to-16 named storms, including eight-to-10 that are expected to become hurricanes, with four-to- six likely to be classified as major events, warned Gerry Bell, lead developer of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Atlantic hurricane outlook.
Mr. Bell revealed his predictions during a recent Marsh Internet seminar on "Preparing for the 2006 Hurricane Season."
