As hurricane season begins, forecasters from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) say all signs point to another active hurricane season.  Although The Bahamas usually becomes more concerned with activity between August and November, after suffering direct hits from two major hurricanes in the last two years Bahamians are taking no chances.


According to NOAA, there will be approximately 9-11 named storms this year with 5-9 of those developing into hurricanes and of those 2-4 may become major hurricanes (category 3-5).  For more on the hurricane season outlook from NOAA click here or watch the video below.
