NOAA Predicts Up To 11 Atlantic Hurricanes Over Next 6 Months
It sounds like it could be a more active than usual Atlantic hurricane season this year. From the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) website today:
In its 2013 Atlantic hurricane season outlook issued today, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center is forecasting an active or extremely active season this year.
For the six-month hurricane season, which begins June 1, NOAA’s Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook says there is a 70 percent likelihood of 13 to 20 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 7 to 11 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3 to 6 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher).
These ranges are well above the seasonal average of 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes.
NOAA also noted that next week, May 26 to June 1, is “National Hurricane Preparedness Week.”
Those living in potentially-affected areas might want to visit the NOAA webpage set aside for the event, where “hurricane preparedness tips, along with video and audio public service announcements in both English and Spanish, featuring NOAA hurricane experts and the FEMA administrator,” can be found.
You can read more about NOAA’s 2013 Atlantic hurricane season outlook on their website here.

Project Prepper: On The Move
Those who’ve been following my “Project Prepper” series of posts know that I’ve been planning a move out of the city of Chicago to the northwest suburbs by late spring (eventual destination, Wisconsin).
Well, it’s late spring, and I’m moving.
The closing is scheduled for next week. It’s the same house I blogged about in an April 16 “Project Prepper” post.
I also mentioned then:
Some time ago I put together a “wish list” for what I’d like a Chicago-area property to have. This includes the potential for:
• An emergency water supply
• A food garden
• Effective layers of security
• Going “off the grid”Oh, I almost forgot to mention a fenced-in yard for a guard or watch dog.
This suburban property definitely has the potential for all these things. Partial brick construction, spacious backyard, an area all ready set aside for gardening, and more.
By this time next week, my girlfriend and I should have closed on the new place. Can’t wait to get in there, get settled-in, and get to work on a number of different preparedness projects which I plan on discussing in upcoming “Project Prepper” posts.
In the meantime, I’m awaiting a couple of new products that are related to my emergency water supply. First, there’s the LifeStraw Portable Water Filter, a personal water filter that removes dangerous bacteria and protozoa. I ordered the LifeStraw- which filters over 264 gallons- from CampingSurvival.com for only $19.95, which includes shipping (ordering info here on CampingSurvival.com). Also, I’m waiting on a WaterBOB Emergency Drinking Water Storage device- a water containment system that holds up to 100 gallons of fresh drinking water in any standard bathtub in the event of an emergency or survival situation- from CampingSurvival.com as well (ordering info here on CampingSurvival.com- at present, they’re out of stock). I look forward to checking out these two devices and talking about them in a future “Project Prepper” post.
More soon…

The Survival Podcast’s Jack Spirko Predicts U.S. Boom, Then Bust Probably ‘10 Years Into The Future Or More’
The other podcast material I said I was going to talk about today comes from The Survival Podcast, hosted by modern survivalist Jack Spirko. Also selected as a “Resource Of The Week,” I wrote back in March 2011 about TSP:
I can’t remember how I first heard about the podcast- but I’m glad I did. Spirko publishes new episodes several times a week. And they’re chock-full of useful information for the novice through expert homesteader/prepper/survivalist- or someone who just wants to be more self-sufficient in their daily living.
But TSP doesn’t focus solely on preparedness/survival topics. Spirko tosses economics and finance in there as well. And listening to him for a few years now- he undoubtedly gets it. Big picture included.
And here’s what the host of The Survival Podcast had to say about the “big picture” back on May 9 in episode 1127, “Risk Assessments and Readiness Audits”:
I do believe our biggest threat is economic. I believe that this country is in store for an economic boom. Yeah, I said boom. If you’ve not been listening to me, I think we’re about to have one of the best periods ever in the history of the country from an economic standpoint. Sadly, it will be driven by both fake and real factors. Fake economic factors, real energy factors. But that can only go on so long. And sooner or later we are going to get to a point where inflation, the devaluation of money, the ridiculous level of debt and the interest there on it, do their full-scale, whole cancer-style damage, eat the patient from the inside, and we wake up to terminal financial illness as a nation.
But that’s not happening tomorrow. That’s not happening next year. That’s not even happening in the next 5 years. There could be recessions and things in the middle. But that day is probably at this point 10 years into the future or more.
And I don’t claim to be Nostradamus. I don’t know the exact timeline. I can just do math and can say with mathematical certainty this system at some point must fail.
“10 years into the future or more”
I think I just heard a collective sigh of relief from many readers.
Not so fast.
Regular readers of Survival And Prosperity know that I’ve been warning about a coming U.S. financial crash for almost 6 years (2007-2010 Boom2Bust.com included). I’ve never thrown a “start” date out there because I’m well-aware the central bankers excel at “kicking the can down the road.” Look at the “Panic of 2008” and how that was “papered over”- for the time being. Spirko knows that our “financial reckoning day” can keep getting pushed back- a lot longer than many of his listeners might think is possible. And I think that was what he was trying to convey with that “10 years into the future or more” bit. I’m pretty sure he didn’t throw that out there to say “all’s well,” or that any new preparedness plan and program should incorporate a 10-year timeframe until the economy and larger financial system hits the proverbial brick wall.
Like I said before- Jack Spirko gets it. If he thinks the U.S. is heading for a boom, then a bust a decade or so out, then it’s a forecast worth considering.
In the meantime, he’d probably agree with me when I say it might be wise to take advantage of the “good times” to get squared-away for what’s in store for us down the road.

Solar Flares Could Be Directed At Earth Over The Next Week
On Tuesday, I blogged about the recent surge in strong solar flares popping-up on the Sun. Luckily, those X-class flares were not Earth-directed. If they were, well, things could have gotten ugly on the “third rock from the Sun” if those flares had been accompanied by a coronal mass ejection, or CME. From an August 16, 2011, post:
The real danger comes when a solar storm ejects a chunk of the corona — the sun’s outermost layer — toward the Earth. It hurtles through space as a huge electrically charged cloud with its own magnetic field. Scientists call it a “coronal mass ejection.”
With an Earth-bound CME, magnetic storms here on Earth could cause electric surges that fry electrical systems and hardware.
Lights out.
Well, the Japanese are now warning about the potential for new solar flares to be directed at the Earth in the coming days. From Jay Alabaster on the PCWorld website Thursday morning:
A Japanese government institute has warned that satellite transmissions, GPS readings, and power lines could be affected over the next two weeks if a recent spate of solar flares continues.
Four large solar flares have been detected over the last few days, including one on Tuesday that was the largest of the year. The flares were judged to be “X-class” by NASA and other agencies, the highest in a linear scale based on X-ray measurements.
Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, or NICT, said the flares came from a group of sunspots that are pointed away from the Earth, but are due to rotate to face in the Earth’s direction over the next week. NICT said that if more major flares occur during that time, there could be problems for satellites and other equipment.
(Editor’s note: Italics added for emphasis)
Hopefully, no coronal mass ejections will be heading our way along with one of these flares. Or any other time, for that matter.
It’s been estimated that a severe solar storm could cause $1 trillion to $2 trillion in losses the first year, and take 4 to 10 years to fully recover from.
