UPDATE BY:Jim Williams.....I have completed the city & island rankings to include the 2011 atlantic hurricane season. Nearly 1/3 of the locations in the database were affected in 2011, but overall not many changes because most of the locations hit this year were already in the top 50. The biggest leaps were Elizabeth City N.C & Nassau Bahamas up 4 positions due to affects from Hurricane Irene. The biggest drops were Delray bch,Fla & Beaufort S.C at 4 positions with a quiet year. No new locations managed to crack the top 50 this year. On the latest edition of the weather and the media show from Feb 1st my guest was Ken Kaye a veteran journalist, having worked more than 30 years as a reporter, editor and columnist. For the past 10 years, he has covered the latest news from the hurricane center as well as the latest science news regarding hurricanes for South Florida's Sun Sentinel. I asked him about who he thinks will be the next director at NHC, the continued active hurricane seasons,global warming and what it is like to be a hurricane reporter and who is his favorite local weather person.
