What is it this season with those incredibly small storms? Bonnie, Charlie, Jeanne, now Karl, all had miniscule core.

Luckily Karl appears to be well offshore not affecting anyone. But this is certainly the year for major hurricanes and we got October and November yet to come.

At the beginning my forecast was seeing as too extreme, as right now I think my forecast will be busted.

MY FORECAST: 16 TS, 8 H, 4 M.H.

SO FAR: 11 TS, 7 H*, 4 M.H. (WITHOUT COUNTING KARL)

* = I still believe Gaston was a hurricane when it made landfall, that image with that clear eye was impressive for a tropical storm.

I still think Danielle reached major status even though I think her top winds were 110
