Hurricane Ready with Bill Read

In this episode of Disaster Discussions we sit down with Bill Read, former director of the National Hurricane Center, to talk all things tropics as the Atlantic hurricane season kicks off in the month of June. Read reflects on accomplishments during his time as director, discusses some of the challenges he faced, and highlights the successes. We also discuss the active hurricane season forecast, changes coming to the "cone of uncertainty" this season, and how a hurricane expert prepares his own home for hurricane season. Read also discusses his experience installing a FORTIFIED roof on his own home in south Texas.
