Is this normal?

Is this normal for it to be the middle of August and we only have ONE named storm that wasn't even a hurricane?

Sorry, what I meant was that we only have one storm in the month of August. Thank you Derek for answering my question in the most simplist way. :wink:

Gosh we forgot what a normal season is. 04 was not normal, 05 was not normal. Now, we are in a normal pattern (or so it seems normal) and we question it. LOL!! I am thankful it is normal again, whatever that may mean for hurricane season anyway. :lol:

Gustav 2002 was the latest "first" hurricane in the last 65 years. It would be great if we beat that record.
