Forecasters are predicting a “normal” season with 9 to 15 named Tropical Storms, with as many as 4 to 8 becoming hurricanes. The 2012 storm names are:

NOAA has one of the most comprehensive guides to Hurricane resources, including understanding hurricanes, preparations and a supply check list.

Of course when water intrusion does occur, make sure you use a company that is certified in Water Damage in your area. The worse thing that can happen is your house not fully drying and encountering mold. Check with the IICRC.org for a listing of certified professionals in your area.
