To Say This Season Is A Bust Is........

Foolish, dangerous, and irresponsible. A season is only declared a bust when it is over. We are still in the middle of the season. This type of thinking leads to complacency and people let their guard down. They think this season is not going to be active, which means we should be okay. Active or not or early or late starting, we can have really devastating seasons. Case in point, 1961, 1998, and 2004. All were late starters that were devastating and deadly. A less active season like 1900 and 1992, which produced the Great Galveston Hurricane and Andrew. Both were El Nino years. People would of written those seasons off. Guess what, if a massive hurricanes comes barreling towards to your area, people are not prepared, they are going to be in a pain of their life.
