Considering I predict that over 140 million people will be directly affected by the 2006 season, that is a dream at this point.

My landfall predictions:

US - 9 tropical storms, 6 hurricanes, 4 major hurricanes

Mexico - 5 tropical storms, 2 hurricanes, 1 major hurricane

Central America - 2 tropical storms, 1 hurricane, 0 major hurricanes

Caribbean - 5 tropical storms, 3 hurricanes, 1 major hurricane

Canada - 3 tropical storms, 2 hurricanes, 0 major hurricanes

Other Areas - 3 tropical storms, 1 hurricane, 0 major hurricanes

Total landfalling (inc. multiple areas) - 14 tropical storms, 9 hurricanes, 5 major hurricanes

I know it is a dream... it is just proof that I am sick of tropical cyclones. However, I know they will happen, anyway.

I saw nothing tropical in the last couple of days and I live in south florida. I don't remember any mention of this low pressure becoming tropical in nature. There were discussions but, this is and always was a cold core area of low pressure.

See cold core... nothing tropical
