The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season is officially underway, and early forecasts suggest we’re in for yet another round of above-normal activity.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is forecasting a range of 13 to 19 total named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher). Out of those storms, 6-10 are forecast to become hurricanes, and 3-5 are predicted to become major hurricanes (category 3, 4, or 5).
For municipalities, general contractors, and emergency response teams, proactive planning can make all the difference when disaster strikes. And at Wolf Creek, we know that having reliable portable piping solutions on hand is essential.
Are you ready for another active hurricane season? Start with these three steps to ensure you’re prepared for whatever may come:
#1: Assess the Need
Many people may think of hurricanes as mainly causing damage to coastal communities. But as we saw last year with hurricanes Helene and Debby, inland flooding — even hundreds of miles from the shoreline — is a serious concern.
As you assess the need to prep for hurricane season, don’t discount the possibility of storm surges and flash flooding, which can overwhelm drainage systems, wash out roadways, and damage critical infrastructure. Cleaning up in the wake of these disasters requires reliable equipment, and Wolf Creek has the solutions you need for the job.
#2: Stock Up Early
At Wolf Creek, we work hard to ramp up our inventory of portable piping products ahead of hurricane season so you’re ready when a storm hits. We typically recommend:
- Steel and HDPE Pipe: Choose from our heavy-duty galvanized steel pipe or durable HDPE poly pipe, perfect for floodwater removal jobs. Add on our convenient pipe storage racks and your bulk pipe order will arrive stacked, organized, and ready to go!
- Inline and Floating Strainers: Floodwater is often filled with debris that can damage your valuable pump systems. Be sure to stock up on our low-profile strainers, bar strainers, or inline Hunnebucket strainers to protect your pumps from unwanted materials such as rocks, bricks, lumber, trash, and even animals.
- NEW: Wolf Creek Hoses: We now carry our own line of suction and discharge hoses equipped with Genuine Bauer fittings for the industry’s most reliable connection. Ask us about ordering hoses for the upcoming hurricane season.
#3: Always Be Prepared. We’ve Got You!
The scouts’ motto — “Be Prepared” — is good advice, especially when it comes to natural disaster readiness. As you prep for hurricane season, remember that Wolf Creek is always here to help make your life easier.
Whether you need to stock up on pipe, hoses, and strainers or create a custom solution for a tricky installation, we’ve got you covered. We respond quickly, with a fast turnaround and a 24-hour shipping window in most cases.
