Hi
everybody! I’m Meteorologist Crystal Wicker and welcome to Weather Wiz Kids®. I'm a television
meteorologist for the ABC affiliate in Indianapolis, Indiana. I
designed this website especially for kids to allow them to learn
more about the fascinating world of weather. It’s also a wonderful
educational website for teachers and parents that gives them the
right tools they need to explain the different types of weather to
children. |

MINIMAL 2007 HURRICANE
SEASONThe 2007 hurricane season, with a month to go, is on track to leave the coastal USA relatively unscathed for a second straight year. As a result, parts of the Gulf Coast and Florida still recovering from the deadly batterings of a dozen hurricanes in 2004 and 2005 have had more time to rebuild and prepare for next time. The severe drought in the Southeast, made worse by 2006's mild tropical season, was prolonged this year by similar conditions. Just one hurricane and three tropical storms hit land this year in the USA: Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storms Barry, Erin and Gabrielle. Last year, no hurricanes and two tropical storms touched shore. This season actually is above the long-term average for the number of named storms. The National Hurricane Center has tracked 14 storms — four of them hurricanes, two of them major with winds 111 mph or more. In an average year, 10 storms are named, six of them hurricanes and two of them major.
