BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Subtropical Andrea forms in the Atlantic

Reprints

MIAMI--The formation of the first named storm of the year has led the National Hurricane Center to issue a tropical storm watch from Altamaha Sound, Ga., to Flagler Beach, Fla.

The subtropical storm--named Andrea--formed three weeks before the official beginning of the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through Nov. 30. The storm, which was packing maximum sustained winds of about 45 miles per hour Wednesday morning, was about 140 miles southeast of Savannah, Ga., shortly before noon Wednesday.

Forecasters have predicted above average hurricane activity for this year.
