Thanks to everyone for making the 2005 Houston/Galveston National Weather Service Hurricane Workshop a
success!
The 2005 National Weather Service Hurricane Workshop, presented by CenterPoint Energy, took place on May 26
from 4:30-9:00 p.m. at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, Texas. The theme of the 2005 Workshop was
"Florida 2004: It can happen in Texas."
The 2005 Workshop focused on the 2004 Hurricane Season, in particular the impact on Florida. We tried to
imagine what the impact four hurricanes in one season would have on Texas. The workshop consisted of a main
session with several keynote speakers along with several breakout sessions covering hurricane related topics. A vendor
area was also be available for companies involved in hurricane preparedness and hurricane protection.
The Houston/Galveston National Weather Service is proud to announce that CenterPoint Energy was the presenting
sponsor for the 2005 Hurricane Workshop. CenterPoint Energy, the company that maintains the electrical lines throughout
the Greater Houston area, is very involved in preparing for and recovering from a major hurricane.
CenterPoint Energy had hundreds of employees in Florida this past hurricane season helping in restoring power to the
local communities. CenterPoint Energy Regional Manager Ed Russell, who led the crews in restoring power in Florida,
talked about the Florida recovery process and shared how it would apply in Texas if we experience a major hurricane.
The Deputy Director of the National Hurricane Center, Dr. Ed Rappaport, was the featured speaker. Dr. Rappaport
talked about the 2004 season and discussed some of the meteorological reasons that the United States and especially Florida
were impacted so dramatically. Dr. Rappaport also looked forward and see what the 2005 Hurricane Season has in store
for the Atlantic Basin.
The City of Pasadena continued to be a sponsor of the workshop by furnishing the use of the Pasadena Convention
Center for the 12th year in a row.
