The hurricane season officially got under way Friday, with forecasters ready to deploy new tools to improve on last year's botched predictions. Although a horrendous season had been forecast, no major hurricane hit the U. S. coast in 2000, and that might have contributed to a false sense of security by many coastal residents, a new Red Cross survey reveals. The survey found that only 52 percent of coastal residents in the states from North Carolina to Texas report having an evacuation plan.
