Florida Marks 10 Years Without Major Hurricane, Sets Record
The state of Florida is marking a big milestone with the official end of the 2015 hurricane season – 10 years without a major hurricane making landfall in the state.
The Miami Herald reports that the hurricane-free streak is a new record for the state.
Experts say Floridians shouldn’t count on the streak continuing. Michael Brennan of the National Hurricane Center has been exceptionally lucky and that residents should always be prepared for the possibility of a storm hitting the state.
