Note 16 named Storms

The graphic is Arthur,  the first Atlantic tropical storm that formed during the month of May since 1981.

In 2008 Arthur, formed from tropical waves on May 31, 2008. Nine lives were claimed and estimated damages of $78 million from floods was considered moderate in the Carribbeans.  100,000 people were affected.
This storm intriged me because my step-father's name was Arthur; he surmised in 1994; loved my mother ( Ms. Mae) and my eldest children ( both share the same birthdate 17th, one in May and the other in Dec ) and though any lost life is heartfelt among the living; this storm was not catastrophic.
Be alert in this current season for calm does not mean we will not see a storm.  How well is your state prepared.  Take note from Louisiana Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness
