BUSY WEEK COMING UP: FLORIDA HURRICANE CONFERENCE, DR. STEVE LYONS ON OUR RADIO SHOW AND THE START OF THE EAST PACIFIC HURRICANE SEASON

Next week is a busy one for us as we draw closer to the start of the Atlantic hurricane season. I am heading to Florida for the annual hurricane conference in Ft. Lauderdale. This is one of the better hurricane conferences around and I am looking forward to being able to hear from the top experts in hurricane science and preparedness. I'll also produce our weekly program, HurricaneTrack News/Talk, while in south Florida. That's the great thing about the Internet- as no matter where I am, the show can go on. Next week's guest is Dr. Steve Lyons from The Weather Channel. That's Thursday night at 9pm ET right here on the homepage. And quite by coincidence, Thursday is the kick off to the east Pacific hurricane season. Theirs begins a little earlier than does the Atlantic and we will be on top of any developments in either basin. Then, it's on to the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. We have a lot to offer our visitors this year and I will discuss those details more after next week.

If you missed last night's News/Talk program, check out the archive version of it linked below. We talked generators and how to maintain them, what to look for while purchasing and common mistakes people make with their generators. You can download an MP3 for your iPod or just listen to the show embedded in to the web page. Special thanks to our guest, James Lewis of ILM Small Engine Repair, for helping us out last night.

You will not find a more vivid, compelling set of severe weather photographs than what you will discover in Jim Reed's new book. Perfect for any fan of spectacular photography and weather alike, this book chronicles the work of one of the great weather journalists of our time. The book explores the seasons like you have never seen them before. From clouds, tornadoes, supercells, hurricanes (including the legendary Katrina), Aurora, lightning and the grandeur of the open Prairie, this book is an essential to any home with a weather enthusiast in it.

This book is fantastic! There are not too many people that know as much about hurricanes as Bryan Norcross. I met him in May and he gave me a copy of this book and I have to say it is simply a must-have for anyone who has any interest in hurricanes. It is easy to read and offers some of the best advice and information available anywhere. His "How I would do things differently" is as thought provoking as it is informative. I highly recommend Bryan's book. You can never know enough and I learned plenty myself. To learn how to get your copy, click on the book cover image.
