2010 Predictions

[vbhoutex]

1. Houston and Southeast TX will have 3 snow events this winter, similar to 1973. One will produce a general snowfall of 6" across the metro area with some outlying areas getting up to 10". 2 snow events-nothing near 6" or 10"
2. There will be an attempt on President Obama's life. It will not be successful.
3. Terrorists will make another attack on US soil. Probably either a biological attack or a dirty bomb. Loss of life will be a continually changing number due to the nature of the attack. The initial loss of life will be in the hundreds.
4. The New Orleans Saints will reach the super bowl leading into the last seconds of the last quarter and lose to Indianapolis on a last second field goal. They made the Super Bowl and won it.
5.The 2010 Hurricane season will start off slowly and late but will end with at least 12 named TC's including one Category 5. There will be 8 landfalling TC's in the Atlantic basin. This includes at least one major hurricane in the Caribbean, at least one GOM landfall, at least one FL landfall from the Atlantic and at least 2 East Coast landfalls. Looking like an active season.
6. Congress will pass a major increase in funding for NOAA specifically targeted for the NHC and Hurricane research.
7. In the end the Health care reform act will not become law because the House and Senate cannot work our a compromise version.WRONG!!!
8. The Houston Rockets will make the playoffs again this year only to fall short(pun intended). Not likely
9. The Houston Astros will be sold to an out of town owner who will keep them in Houston and spend huge amounts to revamp the team. There were discussions with an out of town consortium but nothing happened.

Maybe more later.

5.) America will win the most gold medals in 2010 Winter Olympics-Happened

Actually Canada won the most gold medals (14). US won the most medals overall (37 - 9 gold, 15 silver, 13 bronze)

[somethingfunny]

You guys were all forecasting blizzards and major snow events for Houston, but you should have said Dallas! It was still a once-in-a-lifetime winter, except it was actually likely enough to happen once in a lifetime. Would've been a wiser prediction.

(says the man without any predictions of his own on the board)

Here are mine:

1. A television show struggling in the ratings during the fall of 2009 finds ratings improvements and will become a spring surprise hit. I think The Middle falls in this category.

2. A wet summer will bring record breaking flooding to the Midwest.

3. Three Hollywood stars will be involved in the same major scandal that will involve law enforcement.

4. An earthquake along the New Madrid zone (greater than a 5.0) will rock the mid-South.

5. Lou Dobbs will run for political office.

6. Terrorism will once again be in the headlines off and on throughout the year. It will especially be prevalent in February during the Olympics when a plot is foiled and the late spring when a major attack is averted. ok... WRONG!

7. An unknown musical act from Canada will be the rage this year.

8. Another quiet hurricane season will prevail in the Atlantic with no landfalling systems greater than a borderline TS/Cat. 1 hurricane which will march across Florida in September.

9. Sarah Palin will get a job in tv. Fox News Channel's American Stories... RIGHT

10. The Olympics will see the US winning the most total medals, but not the most gold.RIGHT
