Hey Insiders, it’s Chief Meteorologist Candace Campos gearing up for what looks to be another active hurricane season.

Last year taught us that every storm needs our full attention, as each one brings its own set of hazards and threats beyond the cone.

Here is a look back at a record-setting season.

You guessed it - a bit of a tropical update.

Sunday marks the official start of our 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. As we continue through hurricane week here at the studio, rolling out tons of awesome content to get you fully prepared for what’s in store, we’ve already got an interesting region of the tropics we’re monitoring as we head into the month ahead.

Yes, a few different mechanisms are about to align to our southwest in the Caribbean Sea, over Central America. This could help create even more favorable conditions to possibly generate our first named storm of the season!

If you want the full low-down, you can find all that and MORE if you click HERE for my latest article on our website.

I also recently put out a story breaking down a few of the intricate puzzle pieces at play here that could spark some action in the Caribbean as we enter the mid-portions of June.

Please feel free to email me any comments or questions you may have as well. I’ll be happy to get back to you at my earliest chance.

How the Hurricane Hunters improve forecasts

We could also call them Hurricane heroes.

What’s going on, guys? Meteorologist Jonathan Kegges with you.

I had the privilege of hanging out with these men and women a couple of times at their home base in Lakeland.

I wanted to showcase just how vital these heroes are to us as meteorologists and to you when it comes to potential impacts from an approaching storm.

If you like to look at computer models, you definitely need to see how the models look before and after these hurricane hunter missions take place.

Puzzle piece homes: The future of hurricane-proof living 🏠

Hi everyone, Meteorologist Michelle Morgan with you.

When a Category 5 hurricane hits, with winds over 157 mph, it can wreak havoc, destroying homes, tearing off roofs, and collapsing walls.

But imagine a home that can withstand 175 mph winds, heavy rain, flooding, and power outages, all while keeping you and your family safe inside.

This is no longer just a dream.

OnX Homes is making this a reality with their groundbreaking technology. Built to be hurricane-resistant, these homes are designed to stand strong in the face of even the most powerful storms.

OnX has already constructed 700 homes in Florida, with 2,500 more on the way. They’ve also expanded to Texas, and now, they’re bringing their cutting-edge, storm-proof homes to Central Florida, starting with Groveland.

And while these homes are built to withstand extreme conditions, it’s also important to consider your backup power during a storm.

Generators can be a lifesaver in the event of a power outage, but safety is key. Always ensure proper ventilation and follow guidelines to avoid carbon monoxide risks.

Check out my stories about generator safety and how OnX Homes is changing the game for storm resilience.

Does it rain at your house? Then you may need flood insurance

It’s Meteorologist Julie Broughton here!

I’m excited to share with you some of my interview with Kevin Guthrie, Executive Director of Florida’s Division of Emergency Management.

He’s urging everyone to consider flood insurance as we head into hurricane season, and a policy isn’t as pricy as you might think. Here’s what you need to know.

Check out some tips about what you need to know before you buy a policy.

Post-storm dangers can be just as deadly as the hurricane itself 🌊

Hey there, Insiders! It’s Meteorologist Samara Cokinos with you.

As the winds calm and the rain fades, it’s easy to think the worst is behind you. But experts warn that the aftermath can be just as dangerous as the storm itself.

Alan Harris from Seminole County Emergency Management emphasizes that hidden threats lurk in the aftermath, and one of the most overlooked dangers? Trees.
