Hurricane Season 2026 is bearing down on us! The Florida Business Forum Podcast managed to capture the nation's first interview with Jamie Rhome, Deputy Director of the National Hurricane Center.

We have learned there will be NO Category 6 designation for Hurricanes in 2026 putting to rest rumors that have been flying for weeks.

Deputy Director Rhome also shared his continuing concerns about residents and business owners maintaining their vigilance to be prepared for what Mother Nature may bring our way. Of particular concern, the Tampa Bay Region.

You will NOT want to miss the Deputy Director's concerns over what a direct hurricane strike could mean.
