Tropical cyclone formation during the 2011 Atlantic hurricane season was moderately average, despite the lower than the average of 8 hurricanes since 1995, a total of seven hurricanes formed last year. Of the three hurricanes to reach major hurricane strength (Cat‐3 or stronger), only Hurricane Irene, affected the United States. Both Katia and Ofelia reached Cat‐4 hurricane strength, but were steered away from the eastern seaboard by persistent high pressure over the United States.
The University of South Florida’s top priority is the safety of all students, faculty, staff and visitors.
In the event of an emergency, official notifications will be updated as changes occur or there are cancellations to report.
