Good Morning All, Hurricane season is June 1 - Nov 30, w/ a call from meteorologists to change the opening date to May 15th. The first (90% possible) named storm Ana is forming out in the Atlantic now. For those storm watchers.
Technically hurricanes can happen ANY time. “Season” just means they are more likely to happen. Just like tornadoes don’t only happen during tornado “season”.
I’m really concerned about a hurricane impeding on our August trip. Unfortunately, it is the only time on our calander that we can go! When I told DH the dates, he just said “you know with our luck, we’re going to get a hurricane!” Our “big” vacations have had bad luck streaks- when we went to Hawaii for our ten year anniversary, a volcano erupted the day before we left, and our AirBNB was in the path of the lava flow. Our big blowout Disney trip with all the bells and whistles and luxuries we could afford (and a lot of them that we couldn’t afford, even!) got COVIDed out. So it stands to reason that this one gets some kind of natural disaster too.
Disney rarely closes for weather…isn’t that what we know? You can plan on daily rain still, but inland/central FL usually deals w/ wind and rain and not the storm surges that coastal regions have to contend w/. BUT if this turns into something more for Disney we’ll know where to look for blame
