On the eve of atlantic hurricane season, federal officials told reporters Thursday forecasters have issued a record-high forecast for tropical activity. The National Weather Service said it expects between 17 and 25 named storms, 8-13 hurricanes, and 4-7 major hurricanes. But weather service Director Ken Graham said, "It only takes one storm to make landfall, or even one to get close to you, to make a busy season."
