1. The Season Already Began

More than 40 days before the season’s official start date, the first storm of the 2017 season developed in the northern Atlantic Ocean.

Tropical Storm Arlene was named April 20 and marked the first named storm to occur in that month since 2003. Arlene’s formation began as Subtropical Depression One, which was designated on April 19. It then acquired full tropical characteristics about 24 hours later.

June 1 marks the official start of the season, but storms can form before that date. In fact, the last three years have featured these so-called preseason storms, including Tropical Storm Arlene (2017), Hurricane Alex (January 2016) and Tropical Storm Ana (May 2015).

2. ‘Irma’ Makes Its Debut on 2017 Named Storm List

The list of names being used in 2017 has one newcomer from when it was last used in 2011. This year’s “I” storm will be Irma instead of the now-retired Irene used six years ago.

Hurricane and tropical storm name lists repeat every six years unless one is so destructive and/or deadly that a World Meteorological Organization committee votes to retire that name from future lists.

Irene first pounded the Bahamas and then made landfall in eastern North Carolina as a Category 1 hurricane on Aug. 27, 2011. It was at tropical-storm strength for its final two landfalls along the Northeast coast.

Inland rainfall flooding, particularly from New Jersey to New England, largely contributed to its $15.8 billion price tag.

Irene was responsible for 49 direct deaths during its lifespan: 41 in the United States, five in the Dominican Republic and three in Haiti.

During a storm, ordinary windows can be broken by wind gusts or flying debris.  Wind then enters the building, causing an increase in pressure and potentially lifting the roof off of the structure. Impact Windows & Doors are constructed with layers of laminated glass that remain intact even after impact.

By combining laminated glass with advanced LoE (“low-E”) coatings, our windows significantly reduce solar heat gain, keeping the sun’s heat outside. Though virtually invisible to the eye, LoE coating can reduce air conditioning costs without a smoky tint to block your view.

Get exceptional fading protection by blocking up to 95% of the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays (a leading cause of fading). Help your furniture, carpets, curtains and wall coverings stay beautiful for years to come.

We are confident of our company, our staff and your satisfaction. Our success is not taken for granted and we appreciate that over 50% of our business is done by referral and repeat customers.
