Where we thought we may make it all the way to "Otto" or beyond, it could be getting to "Igor" may be a stretch. Regardless, one cape verde monster slamming into the coast and this will go down as a bad year.
Heck at this rate "Danielle" may be the stretch..
It's worth noting that the Weather Research Center in Houston is forecasting only 8 storms this year due to very low solar activity. I'll also add that they made that prediction in the face of everybody else calling for upwards of 20 storms or more.
