Officials in the Cayman Islands are urging everyone to ensure they are prepared for whatever this season will throw at us. However, if all goes to plan at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, we may be better warned about the potential intensity long before it hits. 
Predicting intensity won't help if people are not prepared for a storm and Cayman officials are urging people to be prepared. As well as plans to protect life and property, stocking up with essential items from batteries to water, government officials also reminded people to keep travel documents safe, make copies of all key documents, including passports, birth certificates, work permits and drivers' licenses, and store them in a separate place from the originals. 
"Hurricanes usually strengthen and grow gradually over time, but eyewall replacement cycles can cause very sudden changes in size and intensity," said scientist Jim Kossin. 
Hurricane specialist James Franklin, of the National Hurricane Center explained that "this is an important first step towards understanding how we can use the eyewall cycle to someday improve intensity forecasts."
