Alabama Newscenter — Alabama Power Ready for Hurricane Season

By Alabama NewsCenter Staff

Alabama Power says it is prepared for the possibility of hurricanes affecting our state this year and is urging customers to do the same.

June 1 marks the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs through the end of November. Hurricane experts have predicted another “more active than normal” season this year, although it’s not expected to be as active as last year when a record-high 30 named storms formed in the Atlantic basin. Of those 30 storms, 13 became hurricanes, two of which – Sally and Zeta, caused hundreds of thousands of power outages across Alabama.

Alabama Power says its Storm Team is ready to respond if needed.
