Let me refer you to this topic:

Don't jump on the "it's a bust" bandwagon yet.

Don't say that! I'd rather have a safe season than a season where thousands of innocent lives are taken. Maybe a quiet season once in a while isn't bad... Did you know that the last year that did not have a retired storm was 97?

Late season etc.

I for one believe that August and September will be quite active. However, I think it will be hard to attain 14 named storms and 8 hurricanes at this point. That is fine with me- it's not the overall numbers, it's WHERE they go that interests me- and everyone else, I'm sure. If we end up with 11 named storms and maybe 6 hurricanes- and 3 of them smash into the US- then we'll all be out of breath come November. I just think we are going to cram it all in to August and September with a little action up until October 15th or so. I have little science to back this up- just my gut feeling. However, based on what I know about water temps and how they affect ridges/troffs, I would not be surprised to see a hurricane hit the Southeast before it's all said and done. With all that warm water off New England and the Canadian Maratimes- the ridge should have a little extra "umph" for it this time around. But that's assuming I even know what I'm talking about there.

One thing is for sure- when a hurricane, or tropical storm, hits the U.S. this year- I'll be there to gather as much data and images as I possibly can. It's such an incredible line- wanting to see a hurricane in person- but not wanting to see lives ruined or lost. That's why I go out there- to document, observe and report- then I tell that story to thousands of people the next year in hopes of getting them ready for THEIR next hurricane.

Anyhow- I am getting anxious at this time of year too. I only hope it won't be long. We've got a lot of work to do with my team- and we cannot do it without a hurricane making landfall. At least THAT is not my fault- I don't control the hurricanes, they control me.

esp. with water temps in the gom at 32-33 c. No updwelling from previous storms, all that heat energy has to go somewhere. So, previous threads are right you may not have 14 storms as predicted but you might have 3 or 4 big ones, and it only takes one as we all know (Andrew).

You must be using the SubRebel template. If you want to see sigs and avatars again, you can go to your profile and select one of the other templates. :D
