I don't agree with number 19. On number 21 it says the fewest named storms in a season is 4, but 1914 had 1. Number 28: "How often have storms come across Cuba up into Florida in recorded history?" Choices: 8, 20, 35. Should be how many, not how often.

Anyway I got 19/30...without cheating.

67% here too.
Some of the Palm Beach County ones were obscure.

80%, missed 6 but there were a few I disagreed with and was more geared towards an opinion rather then fact.

I had the choice down to 2 for a few.
