Another extreme Hurricane season is expected this year. As water temps continue to run above normal-especially in the Gulf Of Mexico. And I expect landfalls along the East Coast as well. Last year here in New England we had several Tropical Systems impact us in different ways. This year, it seems we have an average chance of being impacted.
