Southeastern North Carolina is home to some of the most beautiful and pristine coastlines in the country, but those of us who have lived in this region all of our lives know well the associated risks of living along the Atlantic coast during hurricane season. Most of the major hurricanes to make landfall in North Carolina have occurred late in the summer, but June 1 through November 30 designates the official season, and many of the nation’s leading experts have already predicted an active hurricane season this year.
