Yes, HurricaneBill I did. My rule of thumb is that if any time you have a storm stall to the east of Florida you better be paying close attention in case it were to loop and come back toward the state as Betsy did in 1965, Inez in 1966, and Jeanne in 2004. Most of the time (not all though) when a hurricane stalls generally means a change in direction could occur. So I never let my guard down. Thoughts and comments welcomed.

I'm really beginning to believe this may be a record breaking year. I also believe that the season could start fairly early like 95, I sure don't think the SST's will stop it. I know I have not posted any real data to back up my claim, but it seems like everything is coming together. All of this is just my opinion and not the Gospel. So go easy. 8-) 8-)


I digged way down the pages to find this very interesting thread.

Wow my friend you were right on target with those words in late may.But folks read the rest of this thread because it is very interesting to see what some of the members thinked at that time about the 2005 season.

I made a pre-season prediction of this:

17 tropical storms(Arlene-Rita)
10 hurricanes
5 major hurricanes

2 US landfalling majors, one other landfalling major.

At peak strength:
4 Category 1s
1 Category 2
2 Category 3
2 Category 4s
1 Category 5

COMPARED TO THE ACTUAL AS OF NOVEMBER 1:
23 tropical storms(Arlene to Beta)
13 hurricanes
7 major hurricanes

4 US landfalling majors(Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Wilma) and one other landfalling major(Emily)

At peak strength:
5 Category 1s
1 Category 2
2 Category 3s
2 Category 4s
3 Category 5s.
