The 2012 Atlantic hurricane season officially gets underway tomorrow, June 1.
Last August, many New York City residents suffered property damage from flooding when Tropical Storm Irene hit the East Coast.
So far, forecasters are predicting a quieter-than-usual North Atlantic hurricane season. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is currently predicting nine to 15 tropical storms, with four to eight of them strengthening into hurricanes. Up to three of these hurricanes could grow into major hurricanes of Category 3 or higher.
