Hurricane Information





by Female Abroad



With hurricane season in the Caribbean fast approaching and considering how bad last year's was, I really needed and wanted to pay attention to what storms were coming our way. After deciding that twitter would most likely give me the most up to date information it then came time to decide who to follow to get said information


Since we were headed to Florida and then down into the Caribbean, I looked at feeds that would be helpful for that area and determined four that would be helpful:


General: The Weather Channel @weatherchannel

American: National Weather Service Hurricane Centre @nwsnhc

Atlantic: National Hurricane Center Atlantic @nhc_atlantic

American: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration @noaa


While there are a lot more feeds out there, I went with ones that were well known or at least had a government backing as I figured that they would have higher end equipment for more accurate results. To help with keeping up to date on the trip I also followed the cruise line and couple of local meteorologists.


Update, Sept 20: In the end, this hurricane season was not that bad so I didn't need to be fully prepared but it was nice to have the piece of mind.
