The U.S. is on high alert as hurricane season ramps up, with Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and North Carolina most at risk. Coastal cities like Miami, New Orleans, and the Outer Banks face powerful storms and deadly storm surges, while inland flooding causes nearly 60% of hurricane deaths, reaching communities far from the coast.
Experts warn climate change is making hurricanes stronger and more destructive. Officials urge residents to use FEMA and NOAA resources to understand local risks and prepare before the next storm hits.
