One set of researchers predict 14-18 tropical storms this season. Seven to nine are expected to reach hurricane-strength and two to four will be major hurricanes. Another set of experts found similar predictions. 13 total hurricanes with seven hurricanes and three being major hurricanes. 

Not only does spring and summer bring heavy, heavy showers and strong winds, it also brings enough winds to make tornadoes. This spring already has witnessed the deadliest tornado activity in nearly a decade. In April alone, 14 severe tornadoes were recorded. The impact cost dozens of lives and billions of dollars in damage and insured losses. 

This hurricane season you can reduce the amount of damage. How so? By choosing our top of the line roofing systems. All of our products exceed every common benchmark for strength and durability.
