Hurricane season is officially here, starting Sunday, June 1, and it will run through November 30.
For nearly two decades now, gambling sites have shied away from offering hurricane betting, something Gambling911.com made famous back in 2005.
It was that year that every single Southeastern media outlet contacted us following our odds coverage appearing in the Miami Herald Memorial Day Weekend. We even hosted the Weather Channel on our Wilma-damaged roof.
Some felt it was in poor taste. We say "hogwash". Gambling911.com is based out of Southeastern Florida. We've been through several named tropical storms over the last 20 years.
Oh, and someone better let the head of FEMA know as Reuters reported Monday that David Richardson was unaware the United States has an annual hurricane season. Wow.
Bookies and bettors seemed more aware of the annual Atlantic hurricane season.
BetOnline.ag, a website known for creating odds on just about anything someone is willing to wager on, has created bets for the upcoming hurricane season.
People are betting on how many named storms there will be in 2025, the cost of damages during hurricane season and even the number of hurricanes that will make landfall in the U.S.
Those of us living in South Florida welcomed the new season with up to five inches of rain in some parts. Could this be an omen of things to come?
Alas, we're spending the week in sunny, dry Arizona.
Oh wait! Remnants of a Pacific hurricane just rolled through this state as well. In fact, we just experienced the first rains on June 1 in the Phoenix area in over a century.
