Less than one hour left for voting to end so those who have not voted hurry.

All voting has ended with 55 members casting votes. Now let's see in real time how many named storms will form in August.

Anyone who wants to comment about this can do so.

We are at 2 storms now and it is only August 14th. 5 storms seems very achievable now by the end of the month.

My guess is that August will have 4 named storms, with Grace or Ida as a potential threat to the Leeward Islands and/or Puerto Rico and eventually Florida

You psychic, you correctly predicted Grace!

Thanks Though, i'd call it more like "intuitive-luck" then psychic ability . Tbh, I expect we'll see at least one more similar "east to west" track that'll approach or be just north of the Leewards & P.R. & potentially approach the W. Bahamas and Florida in the weeks to come.

In order to split the Million Dollar August prize though , I still need 2 more named storms to form this month to really nail it (though I think we'll see at least one more quick flash-in-the-pan pretty soon).

And now we are at 3 storms. Are the people who voted for 6 or more storms going to win this year? I voted for 5, and I am starting to get concerned that my selection may be in jeopardy.

Congrats to the three people who chose 6 or more, voted for 4 myself.
