Description: HILO. On the east coast of the United States, hurricane season runs from June to November, and coastal residents keep track of weather systems while meteorologists chart low and high pressure systems.

This museum dedicates itself to educating locals and visitors about this threat via oral history programs, pictorial displays, and scientific exhibits.
