This year’s annual Sally’s Night is on Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Orange County Regional History Center.

If you are thinking, Why do hurricanes tend to make landfall at night? You are not alone. In fact, over the past four season, most of the hurricanes have made landfall during the day. This may help to skew our perception that most hurricanes make landfall at night since we were impacted. Andrew, another notable Florida hurricane, of course, made landfall before the sun came up in 1992. Hurricanes also tend to last a decent amount of time and typically span night and day, and, even though landfall may occur during the day, conditions deteriorate at night or vice versa.
