2006 a success?
I say for every day a storm DOESN'T form this season, it's a success not a bust.. Not boring.. It's a good thing.. Sometimes I think people forget the human aspect of these things

I think this is the earliest we've had a season's cancel thread.

I fully agree. However, the point behind my post is to keep people vigilant, using the phrasology that the people who are complaining are using.
While every day a storm DOESN'T form this season is a success, the thought that the season will be below average because the first month and a half aren't hyper active is a definate BUST.
The more people think that the season is a "BUST" (aka, slow), the more people will let their guard down.

Even if it takes until late August to get the first named storm - it could be horrific.
Remember Andrew which ravaged Homestead and South Miami Sept 2, 1992 - the first named storm of the season...

I agree, I just cringe whenever I see "this season is a bust" in FREAKIN' JULY (sorry, saying July simply wasn't enough). Not to mention, it's absolutely irresponsible posting, not only to yourself, but to others as well.
Say someone just moves to the coast in say, Panama City. They then discover a message board and on July 15 of a year without a tropical storm yet, someone sounds that the season is a bust and nothing big will develop. The person who recently moved to PC takes his advice and becomes complacent. Then, a Category 4 or 5 hurricane bears down on him and he loses almost everything (he and his family only miraculously survive but EVERYTHING ELSE is lost).
As sad, scary, and downright horrendous as that sounds, I fear that could happen one day due to someone calling a season a "bust" just because it's quiet in June or July.

I totally agree and don't see this season as being any less dangerous than last year. It's a blatant ignorant statement to say this season is going to be uneventful based on the past few weeks..
Talk to me in last august/sept... if nothing happens by then, THEN I'll agree that the season with be slow

I agree - it is a success when nothing happens - we have been getting good amounts of rain here in Florida, and, that's the main thing, as opposed to a drought and numerous fires.
As for hurricane season, the media can be really dumb at times (at times?) - last week one TWC OCM raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's with this season?" (referring to a lack of activity).
Would she have preferred several Category 5 hurricanes making landfall in major cities, with all under curfew in the days and weeks afterwards? If we think gas prices are high now, what will happen if another major hurricane closes many Gulf refineries for several weeks, as it did last year?
I used to feel the same way about a lack of hurricanes, until Hurricane Andrew changed my thinking - now, I appreciate a "dull, boring" day (also known as God's blessings)...

For the final time all:
IT IS WAY TOO EARLY TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT 2006 -
what we are seeing now is typical of a July pattern - wait until August and September - things will be quite a different story
All indicators of an active season still remain
