Tornadoes and earthquakes can be horrible natural disasters. Since there is no way to predict either one far in advance, you need to know how to react if one is coming and hope that you and your family remain safe if one should appear.
On the other hand, hurricanes may take days or weeks to develop and strengthen before they even threaten land. As such, one very good site for information and forecasts about hurricanes is the NOAA National Hurricane Center ().
The site keeps track of both Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean areas. The locations of storms are tracked and the potential size and track of each storm is forecast up to 5 days in advance. While such a forecast is never 100% accurate, it can help you to anticipate if or when you should protect your family and property.
It’s never a waste of time to be prepared. As the old saying goes “forewarned is forearmed.”
