CSU expects 17 named tropical cyclones during the season, nine of which will develop into hurricanes and four of which will strengthen into major hurricanes of Category 3 or higher.
“We anticipate that the 2025 Atlantic basin hurricane season will have above-normal activity,” the CSU report warned. “We estimate that 2025 will have 17 named storms (average is 14.4), 85 named storm days (average is 69.4), nine hurricanes (average is 7.2), 35 hurricane days (average is 27.0), four major (Category 3, 4, or 5) hurricanes (average is 3.2) and nine major hurricane days (average is 7.4),” the CSU report explained. “The probability of U.S. and Caribbean major hurricane landfall is estimated to be above its long-period average,” CSU added. CSU defines a hurricane day as “a measure of hurricane activity, one unit of which occurs as four six-hour periods during which a tropical cyclone is observed or is estimated to have hurricane-force wind.”
CSU also predicted that during the 2025 season, the Atlantic basin Accumulated Cyclone Energy, a type of equation that measures a named storm’s potential for wind destruction, and the Net Tropical Cyclone Activity, an overall indication of Atlantic basin seasonal hurricane activity, [will] be approximately 125 percent of their long-term averages.

CSU Hurricane Season Forecast Factors
CSU highlighted how sea surface temperatures and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycles, including La Niña, El Niño, and a neutral transition phase, can influence tropical development, with a neutral phase likely to occur this year.
A previous Source article explained that, during a La Niña cycle, the ocean waters across the equatorial Pacific Ocean cool significantly, affecting global weather. During La Niña, wind shear – a change in wind direction and velocity with height in the atmosphere – also typically decreases in the Atlantic Ocean. A reduction in wind shear can favor cyclone development. This pattern is the opposite of El Niño, a warming of the equatorial Pacific, which usually increases wind shear in the Atlantic Ocean, helping to rip apart storms and prevent hurricane formation and intensification.
“Scientists call [the two opposing climate patterns of El Niño and La Niña] the ‘El Niño-Southern Oscillation’ cycle. El Niño and La Niña can both have global impacts on weather, wildfires, ecosystems, and economies,” according to NOAA.
A neutral phase of ENSO occurs when neither El Niño nor La Niña are happening, and this phase can also help to reduce wind shear across the Atlantic. An ENSO neutral pattern may occur during at least part of this year’s hurricane season.
“Current La Niña conditions are likely to transition to ENSO neutral in the next couple of months; however, there remains considerable uncertainty as to what the phase of ENSO will be this summer and fall,” CSU said.
“Sea surface temperatures across the eastern and central Atlantic are generally warmer than normal, but not as warm as they were last year at this time,” CSU explained. “A warmer-than-normal tropical Atlantic combined with likely ENSO neutral (or potential La Niña) conditions typically provides a more conducive dynamic and thermodynamic environment for hurricane formation and intensification,” CSU noted.

Additional factors that contributed to the creation of CSU’s forecast include using statistical models and analyzing previous hurricane seasons to generate the expectations for the upcoming season.
“Certain years in the historical record have global oceanic and atmospheric trends which are similar to 2025,” CSU explained. “These years also provide useful clues as to likely levels of activity that the forthcoming 2025 hurricane season may bring,” CSU continued. “For this early April extended range forecast, we determine which of the prior years in our database have distinct trends in key environmental conditions which are similar to current March 2025 conditions and, more importantly, projected August–October 2025 conditions.”
Possible Caribbean Impacts
The Source contacted CSU for additional details regarding potential impacts on the Caribbean region this year. Lauren Beard, a research assistant with CSU, provided the following information.
“We are predicting a 56 percent chance of a major hurricane tracking through the Caribbean for 2025, [which] is above the historical average of 47 percent. This elevated risk highlights the importance of staying [prepared]. Staying informed through trusted sources like the National Hurricane Center is critical as the season approaches.”
Beard continued, “Sea surface temperatures [across the Atlantic and Caribbean] are above-average, creating favorable conditions for storm development and intensification. On a more positive note, while sea surface temperatures remain elevated, they are slightly cooler than the record-breaking 2024 levels, which could temper some storm activity. However, the overall forecast still calls for heightened activity.”
Beard offered the following advice for individuals across the USVI ahead of the season:
“The biggest piece of advice I would give to both residents and visitors across the islands is that it only takes one storm [that could affect the islands] to make this an active season for your area. A great way to be prepared is to have a plan before the season starts on June 1.”
AccuWeather Forecast Calls for Similar Hurricane Season Predictions
The CSU hurricane season forecast was released shortly after AccuWeather released its predictions for the number of cyclones expected this year. Similar to the CSU’s outlook, AccuWeather is expecting an active hurricane season. A previous Source article explained the following information about AccuWeather’s expectations.
“AccuWeather is forecasting near to above the historical average number of named storms, hurricanes, major hurricanes, accumulated cyclone energy, and direct impacts to the United States,” according to a comment in the AccuWeather article from Alex DaSilva, the company’s lead hurricane expert.
“Between 13 and 18 named storms are expected in 2025, including seven [to] 10 hurricanes, three to five major hurricanes that reach Category 3 strength or higher, and three to six direct U.S. impacts,” DaSilva said. “DaSilva added that there is a 20 percent chance of more than 18 named storms this year,” the AccuWeather report stated.

First responders and top government officials gathered on Veterans Drive to witness the dedication of a brand-new emergency response vessel. The Marine 1 was christened when a veteran firefighter smashed a champagne bottle across its bow.
The name Captain Antonio Hendricks appears on the bow of the 40-foot high-speed emergency response craft. Officials speaking at the brief Friday ceremony praised the boat’s namesake for his years of public service as a firefighter and his decades-long efforts to enhance marine-based emergency response.
Fire Service Director Antonio Stevens called the addition of Marine 1 an asset that expands his agency’s capabilities. “Today is truly a day to celebrate, not only for the christening of the boat and what it means to operations, but also for the public servant for whom it is named after,” Stevens said. “Captain Hendricks worked tirelessly to expand the agency’s marine firefighting capabilities and served as the first captain of the fire service’s first fireboat — the Gail Benjamin.”
Created by boat builders in New York and in Canada, the vessel is powered by three Yamaha engines and has high-powered water jets mounted on board. The stern of the boat was modified to allow emergency crews to conduct rescues at sea. It was also designed to accommodate a gurney to transport the sick and injured.
Those features allow Marine 1 to serve as an alternative ambulance boat for patients living or traveling on watercraft and for St. John patients being transported to St. Thomas, officials said.

Speaking to a visitor after the ceremony, Hendricks said he began his campaign to acquire a marine response boat throughout his 25 years of service. “When I realized we really needed a fireboat was fighting that fire — the Angelina Lauro,” he said.
Angelina Lauro was a Dutch-flagged cruise ship that caught fire while berthed on St. Thomas in March 1979. “We fought the fire shoreside; the fire started at three o’clock in the afternoon. We didn’t get a fireboat at twelve thirty in the morning, the next day — Hess (oil refinery) sent a boat over,” he said.
In modern times boat-based fire emergencies happen about three times a year on average, said Deputy Fire Service Director Clarence Stephenson. He and others said the new boat will help speed response times.
Hendricks added that Marine 1 can also assist in cases of fire emergencies at land-based facilities like the Water and Power Authority and the St. Croix-based oil refinery.
Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. and Lt. Gov. Tregenza Roach hailed the latest development as a step toward supporting the Virgin Islands’ blue economy.
A V.I. Taxicab Commission board member penned an open letter condemning the VITCC board’s firing of former Executive Director Vernice Gumbs. (Source file photo by Siân Cobb)
A V.I. Taxicab Commission board member voiced concern over the firing of the commission’s former director, Vernice Gumbs, and the appointment of Gumbs’s replacement in an open letter to Virgin Islanders this week.
Vincent Georges, a retired V.I. Police Department captain, wrote that the VITCC board violated the law because the board included two taxi drivers from St. Thomas at the time of Gumbs’s removal.
“Only one taxi driver on the island of St. Thomas is allowed to vote and that would be the active member Mr. [Julian] Penn, who was approved by the 35th Legislature in September of 2024,” Georges wrote, adding that the board terminated Gumbs on Feb. 20 — alleging multiple instances of insubordination — and appointed Melissa Smith to the role of acting executive director, “which is totally illegal.”
“What I do know is two … members of the Board were not notified of the alleged Executive Sessions and/or Board meetings,” he wrote. “There could only be one taxi driver representing the island of St. Thomas, and as a result, there could only have been four … members present with the authority to cast a vote, which is not a quorum.”
Georges added that he was unaware of any disciplinary actions previously being taken against Gumbs and wrote that he was bothered by a letter VITCC acting chair and Assistant Tourism Commissioner Elizabeth Hansen-Watley penned to Senate Vice President Kenneth Gittens in which Hansen-Watley appeared to take issue with questioning of the board’s understanding of relevant rules and laws.
“I don’t know what rules and laws she’s referring to,” Georges wrote, “However, the only law the Taxicab Commission Board is guided by is Title 3 V.I.C. section 274, which they have proven they don’t have any clue about, because those persons on the Board who are practicing ‘selective prosecution’ have violated the law.”
That section of the V.I. Code requires that the VITCC board be composed of nine members. Of those, three members must be active taxi drivers and three must be members of the public-at-large who are not government employees. For both groups, there should be a representative from St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas. The board must also include one member with a background in law enforcement or the legal profession, and one V.I. Tourism Department employee and one V.I. Licensing and Consumer Affairs Department employee, “provided further that one employee shall be a resident of the District of St. Croix and one employee shall be a resident of the District of St. Thomas-St. John.”
Georges concluded his letter by asking Hansen-Watley and Deputy DLCA Commissioner Myrna George whether they’d conferred with the V.I. Attorney General’s Office to determine the legality of their recent actions.
“It is no secret that both of you have been making decisions single handedly [sic] on behalf of the Board,” he wrote, “and if neither of you are in a position to govern and lead based on the law then you should both step down and focus on your respective government jobs instead of creating havoc within the automobile for hire industry. Our transportation ambassadors deserve better.”
One person questioning the legality of Gumbs’s termination is Gumbs herself. Last month, Gumbs filed a civil complaint in V.I. Superior Court asking for a declaratory judgment that her firing was unlawful, an injunction against her removal as well as restoration of back pay and withdrawn entitlements since Feb. 20.
On March 19, Superior Court Judge Denise Francois granted Gumbs’s petition for a writ of review, mandating that the VITCC provide the court with the record of proceedings leading up to its decision to fire Gumbs by April 14.
Many of the claims in Georges’s letter echoed those made by Gumbs in the civil complaint. Gumbs alleged that one of the five board members who voted to remove her was not qualified to serve on the commission. Further, Gumbs complained that neither she, Georges, nor board member Loretta Lloyd were present for the vote “because they were never notified of the meeting.”
As Chairman of the Committee on Health, Hospitals, and Human Services, I have recently received two powerful letters signed by 106 physicians from across the VirginIslands. These healthcare professionals—who serve on the frontlines every day—have laid out in starkdetail the overwhelming challenges and unacceptable conditions they face while striving to deliverurgent, high-quality care to our residents.
Let me be clear: I remain unwavering in my commitment to fixing our healthcare system and makingit a true pillar of strength for our community. Last month, I formally called on Governor Albert Bryan Jr. to declare a Hospital State of Emergency in the Virgin Islands. The concerns raised in these letters further underscore the critical need for immediate, focused, and comprehensive action.
Too many hospital physicians in the Territory have raised their hand when asked if we are in a hospitalstate of emergency—underscoring the severity of the crisis. Most alarmingly, our hospital is at risk oflosing its Red Cross account, threatening access to vital blood. Supplies for surgeries and emergenciesare in short supply. We cannot allow our hospitals services to collapse.
I urge the Governor to act decisively to use any available funds and even consider approaching financialinstitutions to secure a short-term loan of $20 million—$10 million for each hospital—to immediatelyaddress the most critical needs, including staffing, equipment, and vendor payments. These emergencyfunds are vital to stabilize our hospitals while longer-term reforms are implemented.
Our people deserve better—much better. They deserve a healthcare system that is fully functional, adequately staffed, and properly resourced. I stand in solidarity with our physicians, nurses, and all healthcare workers. I will continue to fight tirelessly to secure the funding, reforms, and attention ourhospitals so urgently need—for the sake of every patient, every family, and the future of public healthin the Virgin Islands.

The V.I. Housing Finance Authority addressed residents’ concerns about potential buyout proposals for LBJ Gardens residents in a statement to the Source Friday.
“Any discussion of a voluntary buyout is not related to the Richmond power plant or any of its associated concerns,” according to the statement. “VIHFA’s considerations for a potential buyout are based on broader mitigation and community development strategies, following the response to the demolition of the adjacent property owned by VIHFA, and in alignment with our mission to enhance housing stability and resilience in the Virgin Islands.”
“We remain committed to open dialogue with the community to ensure residents have accurate information and are fully informed about any available opportunities. For more information, please email media@vihfa.gov,” VIHFA concluded.
The statement came after several residents expressed concern during a town-hall meeting Thursday night about plans to rehabilitate the LBJ sewershed that the proposed buyouts are related to the “blast zone” of the V.I. Water and Power Authority’s Richmond Power Plant.
In February, lawmakers on the Senate Disaster Recovery, Infrastructure and Planning Committee grilled VIHFA leadership after initial demolition efforts at LBJ in February left residents with damaged roofs and potentially contaminated cisterns. VIHFA executive Dayna Clendinen said during the hearing that the authority was reviewing residents’ concerns and that “a contractor got ahead of us.”
Sen. Novelle Francis Jr. asked for more information.
“Are you saying that they actually started the project without authorization or permission?” he asked.
Clendinen said VIHFA did give them notice to proceed, but that before starting any demolition the contractor was supposed to “put up the fencing, put up the signage — all that was supposed to happen — as well as issue back to us the schedule.”
A 33-year-old woman was arrested in the early hours of March 25 in connection with a stabbing in Estate Whim, St. Croix, the Virgin Islands Police Department announced.
Officers responded to the scene around 2:34 a.m., where they found a male victim suffering from stab wounds to both sides of his upper back. The victim told officers that Angela Nelson had stabbed him. Emergency medical personnel treated him at the scene before transporting him to the Juan F. Luis Hospital for further care, according to the police report.
Police later arrested Nelson at her residence and took her to the Wilbur H. Francis Command for booking. She was charged with third-degree assault and remanded to the John A. Bell Correctional Facility. Her bail was set at $25,000, and she is awaiting her advice of rights hearing, the police report stated.
Editor’s Note: The following column is intended as satire, beneath which is a deeper call for accountability and vision.
When PRAPA — the People’s Reliable Alternative Power Authority — began its limited test launch last year, nobody really knew what it was. No press release. No ribbon-cutting. Just quiet installs in a few neighborhoods. Somehow, I ended up in one of them.

When I initially read the prospectus, I thought it was a scam. An actual utility company that kept the lights on? Here in the Virgin Islands? That sent bills — on time, with numbers that made sense? That didn’t sound like a power company. That sounded like fiction.
But then I got invited to one of their closed-door presentations. NDAs. Waivers. Security. The room was cold, the lights were bright — and standing at the podium, perfectly composed, was a man in a navy suit with a gold lapel pin and the kind of name you only hear during election season: Delroy Eugene-Francis-George IV.
“Welcome,” he said, his voice calm and crisp. “What you’re about to see is not a concept. It’s a correction.”
And then they played the first commercial.
It starts just like something you’d see any Sunday in the Virgin Islands: a folding table under a flamboyant tree, four old heads locked in a serious domino game. Vests. Slippers. Hand towels over the shoulder. A pot of goat water bubbling on a coal pot nearby. Heineken bottles sweating in a corner. Soca playing low from a speaker wedged in somebody’s window.
One of the men — dark-skinned, bald, belly hanging over his belt — slaps a double six down so hard the dominoes jump.
“BLAAAM!” he yells. “Tawk to me nice!”
Another one, skinny with a straw hat and sunglasses, sucks his teeth and reaches for his last tile. A third man leans back in his chair, arms crossed, smirking like he’s just waiting to catch somebody slipping.
But then the fan inside the house stutters. The speaker skips. The light in the window flickers once … twice…
Everything pauses.
The skinny one leans forward. “Watch ya now… ya feel dat? Das de WAPA cough.”
The big belly man doesn’t say anything — just shakes his head and stares up at the pole like he’s expecting it to fall. The fourth man, wearing a green wife-beater and church socks pulled high, sighs and mumbles, “Lawd Jesus, not mid-game again. Every time I ‘bout to win…”
One of them pulls out his phone to send a voice note. “WAPA gone AGAIN. I vex. Whole goat water goin’ spoil.”
Then —
Boom.
The lights stabilize.
Fan kicks back up full speed.
The music picks right back up: “You dun know is da V.I. massive inside!”
And just like that, a clean blue and yellow PRAPA truck cruises by in the background — real smooth. The man driving gives a lil’ nod like he’s done this a million times before.
The bald man leans back and laughs. “Aye… PRAPA mehson? I feel like I just see Jesus pass in a uniform.”
“Da fan ain’t even hiccup,” the one in the green shirt says. “We still on? No generator? No blackout?”
Skinny one slaps a domino down. “Play de game, brudda! PRAPA handle bizness da propa way! Now it’s my turn!”
They all laugh loud. Somebody shouts off camera, “Bring out de domino liquor!” and the scene cuts to black.
Then the voice comes in calm:
“PRAPA. The light at the end of the blackout.”
“People’s Reliable Alternative Power Authority. Power to the people — not just the politicians.”
Before the audience could even finish reacting, the screen faded to another scene. This time, a recorded phone call.
Ring.
Click.
A calm, friendly voice answers: “PRAPA, good morning. How can I assist you without ruining your day?”
A skeptical woman replies: “Yes, I just callin’ to see if deh current supposed to go out today.”
The rep chuckles gently.
“Not today, ma’am. We five-by-five and fully loaded.”
“No ferry wake disruptin’ de underwater cable?”
“We armored it with conch shells.”
“No man up de hill runnin’ illegal AC from da clothesline?”
“He got cut off yesterday.”
“No wild donkey bun up the substation?”
“The donkey is accounted for.”
“No rooster fightin’ wid the voltage meter?”
“We gave him a warning.”
The woman pauses. “So the current staying?”
“Yes, ma’am. PRAPA power don’t blink. Not for mongoose, man, nor mischief.”
She mutters, half in awe: “Well fadda God.”
Voiceover: “PRAPA. Power so reliable, not even Carnival can mash it up.”
The audience laughed. Even the security guard by the exit cracked a grin.
Then Delroy returned to the podium.
“I hope you’re enjoying our little demonstration,” he said, adjusting his lapel. “But PRAPA is more than good customer service and stable current. It’s also convenience.”
He held up a sleek white box with gold trim
“This,” he said, “is the PRAPA Power Pack.”
A spotlight hit the box like it was the holy grail.
“Our welcome package includes: bills printed in English and common sense. 24/7 customer support that doesn’t forward you to voicemail in Spanish. App notifications before outages— not after. Monthly ‘Current & Chill’ playlists curated by local DJs. And of course, a PRAPA-branded flashlight — strictly for nostalgia.”
He smiled. “And yes… our power is clean, stable, and carries a crisp 120 volts you can practically taste. It’s citrus-forward. With a hint of accountability.”
The room erupted into applause. But Delroy wasn’t finished.
“One final demonstration,” he said, holding up what looked like a gold-plated USB stick. “Then, if you’re ready, we’ll move forward with enrollment.”
He smiled. The lights dimmed. The screen went black. Then, the presentation ended.
And we remembered:
PRAPA doesn’t exist.
There is no People’s Reliable Alternative Power Authority. No blue and yellow tech trucks. No hotline. No power packs. No functioning microphones. No “Current & Chill.”
There’s just us.
Still lighting candles.
Still whispering to the generator.
Still checking the fan to see if it ketchin’ current.
Still paying for power like it’s a subscription to stress.
So why isn’t it real?
Why is it easier to imagine a fake company that works than to fix the one we already have? Why do we keep buying fuel for dysfunction and paying interest on incompetence?
We’ve watched WAPA burn through millions, black out entire islands, and still ask for more— managed by the same people, with the same excuses, and the same smile.
But here’s the thing about satire:
It only works because the truth is already ridiculous.
They say you have to laugh to keep from crying. But maybe it’s time we stop laughing —and start demanding.
Maybe we stop waiting on PRAPA… and become it. Not in name, but in power.
Maybe PRAPA really is too good to be true.
Maybe we’ll never get a clean truck, a friendly voice, or a fan that stays spinning through the night. Maybe all we’ll ever have is generator fumes, burnt-out bulbs, and a playlist of apologies on loop.
But for one shining moment, it was good to believe.
And sometimes belief—no matter how brief—is enough to remind you that better is possible.
Even if it’s not today.
Even if it’s not real.
Even if it is just… a punchline that performs better than our provider.
One can dream.
PRAPA. Proper power. Period.
