So you've never experienced a TRUE hurricane either then.

Well you can take them. I was left without power for a week during Ivan and about the same with Katrina. Also my grandmothers house was wrecked by katrina. They are beautiful storms when they out in the sea. It is totally different when they are in your backyard.

Believe my you DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. I lived through Andrew in South Florida, and a couple bad ones (for this area) up here (though not as extreme as Andrew of course) over the years. You really do not know what you are wishing for.

Heck just look at 1992, Andrew formed at this point in the season and that was the first named storm that caused so much destruction in south Florida and Louisiana. We already have 3 named storms with no hurricane. The average up to this point in the season is 2 named storms and 1 hurricane and we're near average or slightly above in named storms.

We got a long way to go, the peak of hurricane is September 10th and a smaller secondary peak in mid October. We're ahead of 2004, and way ahead of 1992's pace.

2005 was one of those seasons we might only see once in a life time, it was insane. So it becomes obvious now in August 2006 we actually have a near average season so far, but the season is far from over and we got a long way to go. It only takes one major system to change the status of a season no matter how active it is and Andrew in '92 proved that all too well.

I think I know about the PM but Luis could you send it here too? Thanks. :)

The subsurface temperatures in the equatorial pacific remain anomalously warm, and the record low SOI readings earlier in the month, are what I think are going to induce an El Nino.

Are you an amateur, like me?
If so then you should really appreciate this season.

It's much easier to start learning with smaller systems. You can build your knowledge as the season continues to get worse.

This season has been active. 3 Tropical Storms by early August.
This hasn't been a 2005, but there is still soooooo much more of the season to go. The peak is in September. Things will ramp up by then.

El Nino DOES NOT equal no hurricanes for 2006 ATLANTIC hurricane season. It may mean a slightly quieter ending but when all is said and done (I know not much has been said and nothing has been done, but it's just a catch phrase ;) ), I expect 10-15 named storms, which is normal.

Will, come on. El Nino won't affect the 2006 hurricane season, but the 2007 season could be affected.

Actually, Nino's and Nina's usually dissipate around spring. It's usually the season prior to the winter, not after.

will be patient and lets see what happens.My memory is not good right now but several years back it was slow like this only to have several named storms in september maybe another member can remind me of the year so you can get a good look at how quickly things can change.If i am not mistaken it was the most active september on record as far as named storms
