As the mercury continues to climb and the summer months warm up, Americans living along the Atlantic Ocean and near the Gulf of Mexico are preparing for what is expected to be yet another "extremely active" and potentially destructive hurricane season, with meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center expecting seven major hurricanes to make landfall in the coming months.
Last year, homeowners and residents living in what's considered "high-risk" or "active" hurricane areas witnessed the fourth-most active hurricane season on record. Experts tracked at least 20 named storms, with around seven of them becoming hurricanes while three reaching major hurricane strength.
