After Ike there is not much out there in the Atlantic. Anything that forms in the E Atlantic will be around 14 days away and climatology says the troughs will be digging in more frequently by then.

Wouldn't be the first time. Other storms have booked it across the Atlantic in mid-late September - and then we have those stealth waves that quietly sneak in, then get going near Hispaniola and the Bahamas. Looks like a decent amount of junk about to emerge from Africa, and no Ike or Josephine to encumber anything that might want to get going.

Wow, it might be late September into October before we see another named system. Everybody in the Atlantic basin needs a break.

No, the past few years just about everything significant has been going to Texas or Louisiana.
I believe those states have had more landfalling hurricanes than any other state combined in the past 5 years or so.

That could be a costly assumption.
