Preparing for the 2025 Hurricane Season
With predictions of an active hurricane season in 2025, Generac Holdings, Inc. is urging homeowners to take proactive measures to ensure they are ready for potential power outages and the chaos that storms can bring. Generac, a well-known leader in energy technology solutions, reminds residents that planning is critical for maintaining a semblance of normalcy during severe weather.
The Storms Ahead
According to Colorado State University's annual forecast, the upcoming hurricane season is set to be notably intense, with expectations of 17 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes. In comparison, the previous year's activity was already 130% above average, disrupting lives and leaving millions without power. As forecasts indicate an anticipated 125% increase in storm activity compared to the last decade, communities along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are advised to brace themselves for yet another tumultuous season.
The Impact of Power Outages
Kyle Raabe, President of Consumer Power at Generac, emphasizes the far-reaching effects of power outages during storms. "These storms don't just knock out power; they disrupt lives completely," he states. Given our increasing reliance on home environments for work, education, healthcare, and daily routines, the significance of uninterrupted power cannot be overstated. A sudden outage can toss lives into disarray, rendering safety and stability elusive.
