Preparing for another hurricane season in Houston (June 1, 2022)
On Wednesday’s show: On this first official day of the Atlantic hurricane season we present a special edition of Houston Matters with everything you need to get ready for whatever tropical weather the next six months may have in store for us.
We talk with Matt Rosencrans of NOAA about the hurricane forecast and what we can expect in terms of the number and severity of tropical storms between now and the end of November.
Also, we offer a first-timer’s guide to hurricane season for newbies wondering what to do and what to expect before, during, and after a tropical storm.
Then we visit Harris County’s Emergency Operations Center at Houston TranStar. And Craig Cohen and Ernie Manouse of Town Square go shopping for hurricane season supplies.
