HURRICANE ADVISORY: Notice, issued by the National Hurricane Center, numbered consecutively for each storm, describing the present and forecasted position and intensity. Advisories are issued at six-hour intervals at midnight, 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time. Bulletins provide additional information. Each message gives the name, eye position, intensity and forecast movement of the storm.
HURRICANE CLIPS: A structural bracing device used on the installation of roofs which reinforce the joints of a house and give a stronger connection of wood to wood roofing trusses than just nails. In many coastal communities, hurricane clips are enforced as a code restriction for new homes.
HURRICANE EYE: The relatively calm area near the center of the storm. In this area, winds are light and the sky is often partly covered by clouds.
HURRICANE EYE LANDFALL: When the eye, or physical center of the hurricane, reaches the coastline from the hurricane's approach over water.
HURRICANE HUNTERS: The 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron of the U.S. Air Force Reserve, based out of Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi. As a part of the 403rd Air Wing, the crew flies Lockheed WC-130 aircraft into tropical storms and hurricanes to gather meteorological data for the National Hurricane Center.
HURRICANE LIAISON TEAM: A team of FEMA, NWS, State and local emergency management officials which respond to the National Hurricane Center prior to the landfall of a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea or Gulf of Mexico. The primary purpose of the Team is to assist in coordinating the latest advisories from the NHC to the Federal, State and local emergency management agencies.
