Peak Hurricane Season
While September may mean cooler temperatures across North Carolina, residents should be alert that its also the most active month of hurricane season.
So far this year, the state has been impacted by Tropical Storm Debby.
Just like then, crews from the mountains to the coast are prepared and ready to mobilize if a storm is to threaten our state.
Before, during and after a storm, people are encouraged to visit
ReadyNC.gov for important hurricane season information, and also
DriveNC.gov for real-time traffic, including weather-related impacts to transportation.
