June 1 is the beginning of hurricane season. Where can I find the list of named hurricanes for the 2008 season, information regarding what to include in emergency kits, and where to find tracking maps?

MIKE MOSS SAYS:       Ann,      Our web staff has created a great resource for hurricane tracking, name lists, imagery, storm preparation and response tips, coastal web cams and more, all available at

http://www.wral.com/weather/hurricanes/

You'll find a lot of the "reference" type information by scrolling down to the Resources section toward the bottom of the page.

As you might expect, there is also a wealth of information at the National Hurricane Center web site, at this address:
