The Insurance Information Institute announced that 2022 is predicted to have quite the tropical cyclone traffic in the Atlantic basin, according to a forecast released today by Colorado State University’s (CSU) Department of Atmospheric Science.
The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season produced the third-most named storms on record. Seven of last year’s 21 named storms were hurricanes, with four reaching major hurricane intensity. Major hurricanes are defined as those with wind speeds reaching Category 3, 4 or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale – with winds anywhere from 111 miles per hour to as much as 150 or more.
“The widespread damage the U.S. experienced last year from tropical systems highlighted the importance of being financially protected from catastrophic losses and that includes having adequate levels of property insurance and flood coverage,” said Sean Kevelighan, CEO, Triple-I.
Being prepared for the unknown is the point to focus on. While the prediction of the exact number of hurricanes and their intensity can never be an exact science, preparing for the physical property damage can be something within our means. The one overlooked part in all of this: YOUR HEALTH.
Debris can fly through the air, roofs can be ripped off of houses, and 15-foot swells can cause flood damage – all these things can be replaced somewhere down the line, but preparing to preserve your health and safety are the most important to protect life and limb.
At Steele Financial Group, we recognize the importance of your health and are here to help. Give us a call to just say ‘hi’ or find out the in-depth ins and outs of healthcare for you and your family.

Sincerely,
