Hurricane 2018: Forecasters Predict An Active Atlantic Storm Season
For those still grappling with the devastation of hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria last year, be warned:
The 2018 hurricane season may not offer a reprieve.
Researchers at Colorado State University predict the upcoming Atlantic Ocean hurricane season could, again, be above average. That means more storms, and more storms of a greater severity, could form this year.
The season officially starts June 1 and runs until Nov. 30, though storms have formed before and after that window.
During the middle of a hurricane is not the time to realize that your generator is not prepared. A tailored planned maintenance program from Loftin Equipment will greatly reduce the chance of your system failing when it has to perform.
We also maintain a comprehensive rental fleet and our team of rental experts have the knowledge and experience to ensure we have the equipment and assets in place to respond to all of your generator rental needs.
