00:00The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season forecast just dropped, and meteorologists are calling it one of
00:06the most concerning outlooks in years. Forecasters are predicting up to 18 named storms, nine
00:11hurricanes, and four major hurricanes of Category 3 or higher. Warmer-than-average sea surface
00:17temperatures across the Atlantic are loading the gun for explosive storm intensification.
00:22The Gulf Coast, Florida, and the Carolinas are squarely in the bullseye.
00:27Homeowners' insurance rates are already surging across coastal Texas, Louisiana, and Florida
00:33ahead of June 4th. FEMA has pre-positioned generators, water, and meals at staging sites in seven
00:40southern states. Last year's Hurricane Melissa nearly hit Category 6, and forecasters warn this
00:46season could deliver another monster. If you live within 100 miles of the coast, now is the time to
00:52update your evacuation plan. Waiting until the cone shows up on your screen is already too late.
