Actually, it's 2 cat 5's with Andrew's post-analysis upgrade.

What I find interesting about these figures is that out of the 57 'canes, 42% were majors! I don't know the national average off the top of my head, but that seems to be an abnormally large percentage.

This could be an interesting season. We here in Central Florida are well overdue. When I get my hurricane survival guide in late May/early June.. I'm going to peak at the list of shelters just in case..

Since I live on the 3rd floor of my apt. building.. I would have to find lower ground.. Yes I said LOWER ground lol..
