Got to go with 6 or more, wouldn't be shocked to see double digit storms.

Really wanted to go with just 3 during August because there just has to be a pause for the basin to essentially reload LOL. I just couldn't do it though in the face of the present pace of activity. Therefore, 4 it is. I figure at least 3 of them will be hurricanes and one or two will reach major threshold. Most at risk? Cocoa Beach, Buxton, N.C, and Eastern Long Island.

Went with 5, which seems like a lot. However, July might finish with 5, so it stands to reason that August could do the same. I'll go with 5/2/1.
