This poll is only for the U.S. Mainland areas,not for the Virgin Islands,Puerto Rico or Hawaii.The poll is non-scientific.If you look to the poll options,they are not in alphabetical order.The last option of the poll (No Landfalls will occur on the U.S. mainland in 2009) is there to make it a complete poll with all options available for the members to vote for.

I say North Carolina's coast sticks out for me.

For those members who still haved not posted numbers in the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane season poll,you still have time to do so.But dont leave it to the last minute before the poll closes on May 31 at Midnight EDT,because you may forget and then it will be late :) The thread that has the 2009 numbers poll is located in the announcements section at the top of this forum.

Countdown towards the closing of 2009 Numbers Poll:

I voted Northeast. East Coast Florida to Carolinas would have been #2.


Just thinking of JB's perfect storm, just West of Delaware Bay, flooding Philadelphia. Hopefully not TWC's 'It Could Happen Tomorrow' (not likely, since tomorrow is still April) of a hurricane travelling NNW towards NYC funnelling the surge between Long Island and New Jersey and flooding lower Manhattan. The salt water flooding requires extensive work on the electrical components in the subway system, and paralyzes the NYC financial center for weeks. Not now, with a weak economy already.



I think, despite JB's hunch about the WGOM in June, the Gulf has a tranquil Summer, maybe just a tropical depression or weak storm of non-tropical origin that landfalls towards Palacios or Lavaca and brings beneficial rains to my house. And a few pages of Storm2K threads. If it does happen in June, and makes JB happy, that is fine, but he mentioned 1957, and that implies something like Audrey.

Ed, I too pray that JB is way off mark with another Audrey type scenario. I'm on the Calcasieu/Cameron line where thousands died in Audrey and our parents still vividly remember the carnage. I've spent the last 4 years repairing and rebuilding from Rita and Ike. Did I mention that I don't plan on this as a career? LOL

I voted for the Florida Peninsula since it, much like the islands, is just out there in the path of most Atlantic storms in their westward track. No science, just logic!
