I have seen some conversations between Meteorologists on what seems to be a correlation between having a major Tornado/Severe Thunderstorm season and a major Hurricane Season. No studies yet prove it but something to keep in mind if one is near the coast this summer.
A few interesting sites of some help and interest:
