Hello everyone,

I'm Peter Creedon. I am an avid lover of hurricanes and other weather phenomena. My first hurricane, was Hurricane Bob, in 1991. Bob happened to be the last major hurricane to impact New England. I'm from Nantucket,MA; and am proud of my hometown. I'm in the process of writing a hurricane history book covering the Atlantic Basin. If anyone needs any help in remembering a certain storm or event, do not be afraid to drop me a line, I will help to the best of my ability.

I hope to be an authority on all things hurricane.
