#1 Postby **cycloneye** » Sat Jul 24, 2010 6:59 pm

Ok folks,here is a simple question poll, this one related to how many named storms will form in the month of August. The poll closes at 7:59 PM EDT on July 31rst. Lets have a good participation and see if the poll can get over 100 votes. As you can see there are the two extreme options at the bottom of the poll included to make it a complete poll.

I voted for 5.

I think the worst storm of the year will be Igor.... There's just something about that name that scares me. :cry:

Just two, one will be a hurricane is my guess. Of course, even the so-called "experts" have absolutely no clue at all how many storms there will be. Hurricanes are mostly guess work even by the best in the business. :eek:

Lets not deviate from the topic in hand here and that is how many named storms will form in August, is not about the names.

Three but I am truly hoping for none whatsoever. It will be boring, but boring is better than chaos, death, debris, destruction, flooding and mayhem.

I voted for 2... I will probably reduce it to 1 if nothing forms the first 2 weeks of August.

OMG,season cancel,nothing more to see (jk)

Two votes for none at all. But seriously, anyone has a right to vote for any of the options as every poll works that way. The important thing is to participate and vote for your preference, no matter if by any means,the none at all option wins.

Even though the "none at all" choice is probably not going to happen, there's still always that possibilities, since we are dealing with so many variables that that have to come into play for development to occur.
