Well lets face it the 2003 hurricane season is over.

So lets wait to the 2004 hurricane season open, and see what it has instore for us.

Bold statement with still a little over a month to go. We could still see 1 or 2 named storms. I wouldn't raise the white flag just yet.

We barely see a storm in november, i will be surprise if we see one, but if it do develop most likely going out to sea.

[Josephine96]

Nah.. I think if we get a November storm it will be a Gulf Coast 1 cause it will form in the Caribbean or Gulf of Mexico

November 2001, Michelle hit Cuba as a devestating category 4. Killed 17 people in the entire Caribbean, and did 5 billion dollars damage. The Florida Keys and SE Florida got lucky. 34 days to go......

You're right about Michelle. She came very close to the Florida coast. I remember. We have had a lot of near misses since Erin in 1995.

Erin was the last hurricane to directly hit Central Florida {unless Gabrielle was but it has never been known as a cane just a 70mph TS}

We've been struck with a bunch of TS since then. {Erin}

[ColdFront77]

I remember Gabrielle. It was my first Hurricane Season here in Central Florida. The storm was the strongest to tropical cyclone I experienced in the Sunshine State.

The center of Gabrielle past not too far northwest of Orlando, if I am not mistaken.

I am about 80 miles (in a straight line) northwest of Orlando.

[Josephine96]

You are right Tom.. I'm just south of Orlando and Gabrielle slaughtered us here.. I had a lot of cleanup after her.
