"La Nina hurricanes" I guess would come in the previous hurricane season before a La Nina winter. If so, I'd say Wilma, Rita, and Katrina 2005, Mitch 1998, Gilbert 1988, Janet 1955, Dog 1950, and the Long Island Express 1938.

These are all the Cat 5's that have occurred in a before a strong La Nina winter.

2005 was a neutral year. You can't blame it on El Nino or La Nina - it's fairly disturbing that this type of fluke occurred under rather normal conditions. 1998 was a La Nina year - Mitch and Georges.

Not to sure you can say this with 100 % certainty. Some things are cyclical in nature. Timing of ENSO phases have always tended to start or form during previous winter...then develop stronger throughout year.... Timing of things like 50 hPa etc...might change this timing...there by maybe less noticeable events forming ... SST's etc...

Summer/fall last two tropical seasons seem to have shown signs of ENSO events trying to develop...and winter ENSO weather patterns followed along with this.

So we might have the chicken/egg.

Since La Niña means "little girl" I hope this means she will be nice to us. Except, if this niña is a cousin of the exorcist!!!!

Yeah, it's a variant of Catherine, just think of how many other feminine names are variants of Catherine.

Wasn't 1996 a La Nina year? If so Bertha (strongest July hurricane on record, hit NC and moved up the East Coast), Fran (also hit NC), Edouard (near miss for New England), and Hortense (first hurricane to hit Nova Scotia in decades).

That's incorrect. I think Bertha was the earliest Cape Verde hurricane on record. Correct me if I'm wrong

Calamity Bertha was the earliest and most east cyclone that formed from the CV area.

I personally wouldnt' look to past La Nina years...well in some cases I would...but this winter up here has seemed more El Nino-ish then La Nina-ish---warm and wet rather than cold and wet.....but we'll see this spring coming, Spring 1996 was dreary and wet around these here parts...

2005 was a neutral year and it is PERFECTLY NORMAL for a neutral year to be more active. Neutral years, on average, have the same amount of activity as la nina years...with a slight difference in...I believe it is hurricane amounts (1 more in neutral years) but I do not remember exactly.
