As we all know the Hurricane plays hold a lot of profit potential if you play them correctly and with Hurricane season beginning in about 1 month - its now time to look towards these plays for the summer.
Please post anything and everything related to hurricane plays in this thread including links to hurricnae related info, stockcharts, etc.
Good luck to all, and watch for the preseason Runups to begin in May just like last season.

Preparing for a Hurricane If you are under a hurricane watch or warning, here are some basic steps to take to prepare for the storm:
Learn about your community's emergency plans, warning signals, evacuation routes, and locations of emergency shelters. Identify potential home hazards and know how to secure or protect them before the hurricane strikes. Be prepared to turn off electrical power when there is standing water, fallen power lines, or before you evacuate. Turn off gas and water supplies before you evacuate. Secure structurally unstable building materials. Buy a fire extinguisher and make sure your family knows where to find it and how to use it. Locate and secure your important papers, such as insurance policies, wills, licenses, stocks, etc. Post emergency phone numbers at every phone. Inform local authorities about any special needs, i.e., elderly or bedridden people, or anyone with a disability. Make plans to ensure your pets' safety. Emergency Supplies You Will Need You should stock your home with supplies that may be needed during the emergency period. At a minimum, these supplies should include:
Several clean containers for water, large enough for a 3-5 day supply of water (about five gallons for each person). A 3-5 day supply of non-perishable food. A first aid kit and manual. A battery-powered radio, flashlights, and extra batteries. Sleeping bags or extra blankets. Water-purifying supplies, such as chlorine or iodine tablets or unscented, ordinary household chlorine bleach. Prescription medicines and special medical needs. Baby food and/or prepared formula, diapers, and other baby supplies. Disposable cleaning cloths, such as "baby wipes" for the whole family to use in case bathing facilities are not available. Personal hygiene supplies, such as soap, toothpaste, sanitary napkins, etc. An emergency kit for your car with food, flares, booster cables, maps, tools, a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, sleeping bags, etc. You can find more information on emergency plans and supply kits at www.ready.gov
Preparing to Evacuate Expect the need to evacuate and prepare for it. The National Weather Service will issue a hurricane watch when there is a threat to coastal areas of hurricane conditions within 24-36 hours.
When a hurricane watch is issued, you should:
Fill your automobile's gas tank. If no vehicle is available, make arrangements with friends or family for transportation. Fill your clean water containers. Review your emergency plans and supplies, checking to see if any items are missing. Tune in the radio or television for weather updates. Listen for disaster sirens and warning signals. Prepare an emergency kit for your car with food, flares, booster cables, maps, tools, a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, sleeping bags, etc. Secure any items outside which may damage property in a storm, such as bicycles, grills, propane tanks, etc. Cover windows and doors with plywood or boards or place large strips of masking tape or adhesive tape on the windows to reduce the risk of breakage and flying glass. Put livestock and family pets in a safe area. Due to food and sanitation requirements, emergency shelters cannot accept animals. Place vehicles under cover, if at all possible. Fill sinks and bathtubs with water as an extra supply for washing. Adjust the thermostat on refrigerators and freezers to the coolest possible temperature. If You are Ordered to Evacuate Because of the destructive power of a hurricane, you should never ignore an evacuation order. Authorities will be most likely to direct you to leave if you are in a low-lying area, or within the greatest potential path of the storm. Be aware that most shelters and some hotels do not accept pets. If a hurricane warning is issued for your area or you are directed by authorities to evacuate the area:
Take only essential items with you. If you have time, turn off the gas, electricity, and water. Disconnect appliances to reduce the likelihood of electrical shock when power is restored. Make sure your automobile's emergency kit is ready. Follow the designated evacuation routes—others may be blocked—and expect heavy traffic. If You Are Ordered NOT to Evacuate The great majority of injuries during a hurricane are cuts caused by flying glass or other debris. Other injuries include puncture wounds resulting from exposed nails, metal, or glass, and bone fractures.
To get through the storm in the safest possible manner:
Monitor the radio or television for weather conditions, if possible. Stay indoors until the authorities declare the storm is over. Do not go outside, even if the weather appears to have calmed—the calm "eye" of the storm can pass quickly, leaving you outside when strong winds resume. Stay away from all windows and exterior doors, seeking shelter in a bathroom or basement. Bathtubs can provide some shelter if you cover yourself with plywood or other materials. Prepare to evacuate to a shelter or to a neighbor's home if your home is damaged, or if you are instructed to do so by emergency personnel.

NOAA HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT TO EMBARK ON EAST COAST TOUR Forecasters Go Airborne To Promote Hurricane Awareness
April 23, 2007 — NOAA hurricane experts will travel aboard a NOAA WP-3 Orion turboprop Hurricane Hunter in a five-day, five-city tour of the East Coast beginning April 30 to raise public awareness of hurricanes that can threaten the Atlantic Seaboard. (Click NOAA image collage for larger view of students visiting a NOAA hurricane hunter aircraft during the 2006 hurricane awareness tour. Click here for high resolution version. Please credit “NOAA.”)
Bill Proenza, the new director of the NOAA National Hurricane Center, Richard Knabb, PhD., senior hurricane specialist, and Michelle Mainelli, hurricane specialist, will join the crew and scientists when the aircraft visits North Kingstown, R.I.; Cape May, N.J.; Martin State Airport near Baltimore, Md.; Elizabeth City, N.C.; and Daytona Beach, Fla. The public and media are invited to tour the aircraft and speak with the delegation.
“Educating the public is our continuing mission,” said Proenza. “Even though last season had a below average number of tropical cyclones with no landfalling hurricanes, we remain in an active hurricane cycle likely to last another 10 to 20 years. Preparation through education is less costly than learning through tragedy."
“We spend considerable time talking with children on the aircraft. If any of them take that message home to their parents, many more lives can be saved. This is a great way to teach hurricane awareness,” said James McFadden, PhD., chief of programs at the NOAA Aircraft Operations Center.
The team of NOAA hurricane experts will be joined by emergency management officials, non-profit organizations such as the American Red Cross and various local NOAA National Weather Service forecast offices.
The Hurricane Awareness Tour has been conducted for more than 25 years, alternating between the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, and is followed by NOAA’s hurricane hazard education campaign during national Hurricane Preparedness Week from May 20 to 26. The Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1.
The NOAA WP-3 Orion turboprop Hurricane Hunter aircraft will be available to the public for tours during the following hours. (All times EDT.)

Renrob you are welcome. I guess the title of the tread indicates that we can talk about hurricanes in general.

MIAMI - The first named storm of the year formed Wednesday off the southeastern U.S. coast, more than three weeks before the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, forecasters said.
ADVERTISEMENT
Subtropical Storm Andrea had top sustained winds around 45 mph Wednesday afternoon and didn't appear to be much of a threat, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Still, a tropical storm watch was issued for parts of Georgia and Florida, meaning tropical storm conditions are possible within 36 hours.
"We're not looking at this system strengthening significantly," said Richard Pasch, a senior hurricane specialist at the center.

All pretty good buys here - good for 100% runs IMO when the hurricanes come in. Good to accumulate now before the storms come in and your paying a 25% higher premium
