KEARNEY, Neb. — Nebraska has been ranked number one in the nation for power reliability, with residents experiencing power outages for just 73 minutes per year on average, according to a new national study by Texas Electricity Ratings. This places Nebraska well ahead of the national average for power reliability.

In addition to reliability, Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) is also recognized for maintaining some of the lowest electricity costs in the country. The latest data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that NPPD ranks among the lowest cost providers of retail power nationwide. The EIA's 2023 rankings, which analyzed data from over 2,600 utilities, placed NPPD in the top 5.2 percent for affordability.

NPPD reported that its retail rates are approximately 45 percent lower than the national average and even lower than Nebraska's already affordable state average. NPPD leaders said these rankings reflect their long-term commitment to keeping rates stable while ensuring reliable service for communities across the state.

It is now peak hurricane season: What to expect for storms in the Atlantic - ABC News

The agency forecasted 13 to 18 total named storms with winds of 39 mph or greater, including five to nine storms predicted to become hurricanes with winds of 74 mph or greater and two to five storms expected to become major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph or higher.

The average number of named storms in the Atlantic Basin during one season is 14, with seven of them becoming hurricanes.

Looks like a La Nina is wanting to form, which would not be good for Atlantic hurricanes. Let's hope she holds off for a while yet.

Don't be scared man, embrace it. 

You're Florida man now. Greet the hurricane on the beach, maniacally pointing and laughing. 

Scoff at how weak it is compared to the others you've seen. Show it who's in charge.

We've gotten good at riding them out. Having Ian for our first one helps in that area.

We're fine. The hardest part is watching others (who are not fine or as fine) try to recover.

Seeing 8-10 feet of water in the downtown last year was not easy to look at.

I still think these predictors are mostly guessing, they give some range I could guess at, and then make a midcourse correction, which is cheating.

The course predictions once something forms is often "OK", but storms intensify or collapse unbidden at times.  But, predicting in June for me is a guess.

I'm tending to lean toward more localized development now, rather than the waves off of fAfrica, although the present one is increasing in probability for formation, according to the NHC.

Anyway, waters in the Gulf and Caribbean are really warm now, and there is not much in the way of dray air or wind shear. Anything that pops up could move into a powerful storm very quickly.

I'm paying close attention to the below area.

(Yes, I'm taking meteorology with all of my required continuing education units - P.E. renews this Fall, and C.F.M. just renewed.)

I agree with my rather limited knowledge that the Gulf is more likely to spark a damaging storm for the west coast of FL from here.  Hopefully not of course.

The bad news, the Gulf just hit an all-time high temperature, two degrees hotter than average for this time of year.  The good news, we're past the peak average high temp on the curve and the Gulf should start its annual cooling trend in the very near future.
