Too bad a lot of people didn't get the excitement they wanted but guys like us and Frank P can tell you that once you lose everything you own, you develop a whole new perspective. I also don't agree with the term dud for 13 as it has produced the recent long term average of named storms and will no doubt get above 11. I do agree that it is a dud in terms of ace and intensity, which suits me perfectly fine. Now back to Zilker Park and ACL Fest. Muse was outstanding last night.

It is a dud season. All of the pros and experts have admitted not only vast over forecasting, but even by normal standards its puny. Count means little when they are all short lived and struggling, combined all 11 systems barely compares to 1 good tracking cape verde major we usually see at least once a season. It is the third least active season ever since 1950...doesnt get much less active than that.
Mjo will be weak when it reaches the west. I think we may get a named system or two from it but probably not much more. Hurricane season lasts till Nov 30th but nothing says it will get active (with meaning), and likely nothing outside the Carib will survive very long from this point forward.
