Hi there and welcome back! We took a little time off after the Hurricanes season ended for two reasons - number one we all needed a little break after a long season and number two we are currently navigating the next steps for Canes Country (See below under ICYMI).

That being said, the core group of writers here are committed to continuing on the best we can for now and you will see at least one weekly Storm Advisory during the offseason (maybe more if content and schedules allow) and we will begin rolling out our yearly Season In Review series here this week.

We hope you stick around with us and we recognize you may see a slight dip in content for the time being, but that’s also a typical thing come the offseason anyways. If things take a drastic change we will update you the best we can!

So with all of that out of the way, let’s get back to our regularly scheduled content.
