Will caribbean be at high risk or not this 2004 season?
Hopefully the systems go away from the islands fishing but the pattern that is shaping up suggests that the caribbean will see some storms and hurricanes travel from the eastern atlantic as low latitud systems and also homegrown systems will form in the caribbean.This poll is for the caribbean only.

I think the Caribbean just for being what it is, is always at risk for at least a moderate chance of being affected by tropical activity.
You got the western Carib a hot bed for early & especially late season action & then you got the eastern Carib which sits right in the path of waves that come off Africa & develop into storms.

The Carribean was very Lucky last year.
If Isabel was just a few degrees south it could of been a catastrophe.
Or if she was the size she was when she hit the states, that also could of been a catastrophe.
The Lesser ANtilles have not been struck by a Major since Lenny in 1999.
Puerto Rico have not been struck by a Major since Georges in 1998.
The Eastern Carribean section has been lucky in recent years.
Even though they had nemerous Major Hurricanes strike them between 1995 and 1998.
Most notable ones were: Luis, Marilyn, Hortense (Hortense was not Major but very destructive), Georges, Lenny.
It will be 5 years this November since the last Major Hurricane to strike that part of the Carribean.
In the same timeframe Central America has had some very deadly ones in recent years.
2002 - Isidore (Yucutan Peninsula)
2001 - Michelle (Cuba)
2001 - Iris (Belize)
2000 - Keith (Belize) (weakened to Category 1 prior to landfall)
Not saying its overdue just saying it has been 4-5 years since a Major Hurricane struck the Eastern Carribean.
