The peak of hurricane season is here.. right?
It's quiet.. too quiet.. With the official AdjusterTV start of the 2022 hurricane season, as of August 17th, 2022, we have had (drum roll please) a whopping THREE devastating tropical storms this year so far. Three.
By this time last year we were already down to H in the names with category one Henri, which was the third hurricane of the season.
That said, category four bruiser Ida blew up south of Cuba as a tropical storm August 26th and within a very short 3 days made landfall in Louisiana with 150mph winds.
Things can happen very quickly this time of year and - that - is why at AdjusterTV we always say that hurricane season doesn't officially start for cat property adjusters until the middle of August.
The peak of hurricane activity will come mid-September and effectively be over by Thanksgiving.
As catastrophe adjusters we also know that no matter what the eggheads say, Mother Nature is going to do what she wants and even though they're predicting 20-22 storms this year, we could have a half dozen.
Or.. we could have yet another record-breaking year.
The bottom line is that anything can happen and if you want to be in this game, you need to be ready to get sent to the coast with 24 hours notice if stuff gets real.. or if nothing happens to accept that not every season will have huge hurricanes that send tens of thousands of claims adjusters to the coast to help with the recovery.
In this video, Matt talks with experienced adjuster Steve about his experiences on his first hurricane and how you can be ready to deploy - or not.
