How does hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean affect Stark County? Peak hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean is from mid-August to late October. However hurricanes can occur anytime in the hurricane season: June to the end of November.  It has been recorded that hurricanes or tropical storms have brought significant rainfall to our Ohio Valley.  Since 1876 remnants of 58 recorded storms have produce rainfall our area. During Hurricane Ike in 2008 Ohio sustained over $1.255 billion in insured losses.  These storm remnants can produce heavy rainfall, flooding, widespread windstorms with gusts to hurricane-force, and power outages.

Prepare your home or business for hurricane season:

  1. Complete a roof inspection: your roof is the first line of defense during heavy storms.  Shore up any loose shingles and make sure that gutters are free of debris to allow water to flow smoothly.
  2. Trim or remove damaged trees and limbs surrounding your home.
  3. Lock and secure windows, doors and other access points into your property, out buildings or sheds.
  4. Secure loose items on your property that could be picked up by strong winds and transformed into a projectile (such as trampolines, lawn furniture, grills, trash cans, etc.)
  5. Move your vehicles into shelters or garages, if possible, and avoid low lying areas that can flood and parking near trees.
  6. Consider purchasing a portable generator for use during power outages.
  7. Flashlights and extra batteries would also be useful.
