Fl east coast vs Fl west cost Hurricanes 05

Neither. I am an optimist.

[AdvAutoBob]

This I don't wish to speculate on...

[Steve H.]

I'll bow out on this.....I'm still waiting for shingles (for my roof) Please keep those damn storms away from the east coast!!

[Derek Ortt]

statistically, the south coast is due

I hear ya, so are some of my family and friends in Port charlotte from charley..i cant beleive im back on the hurricane board again since all this rain in florida im wondering whats up.

South Florida from the East. LONG LONG overdue. Miami got lucky with Andrew.

A Charley-type track will be very hard unless it's late in the season and one forms down around the Yucatan or Western Cuba. Having one in August would take a powerful, very rare trough like we saw last year.

am leaning toward a late 40s pattern...southeast coast landfall(late aug-sept) followed by a keys landfall out of the northwest carib around mid-october....perhaps this will become known as the decade of the paired landfalls for florida

[Derek Ortt]

as I said in a different post, it looks like if activity is only in decades that we have just completed our active decade as we have had 28 lsystems to significantly impact Florida since 1994, compared with only 13 in the previous 11 years (which included 5 from 1985)


Even in 1995, we were significantly impacted by 3 hurricanes (though Allison weakened to just below cane intensity at landfall

derek....i think you misinterpreted my last post...i was referring to the southeast coast...pb, broward, dade, monroe...not fla as a whole

[cajungal]

I voted south east coast. We may get an Andrew set up with something hitting south Florida, then going further in the gulf. With a second hit like Louisiana or the Panhandle. But, I am just making pure guesses. It is too early and all we can do is just sit down and see what happens. We can't do nothing to control the acts of nature. Just hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Now, is a good time to recheck your supplies and plans for the 2005 season.

10 storms have had a significant impact on the EC of FL (and the Keys) during the past 10 years. This seems like a very active period

[weatherwindow]

derek, i am simply suggesting that the we are may be entering a decade of multiple major landfalls in sfla.....the 40s were quite a show in that regard....majors: 1944. 1945. 1947, 1948(2), 1949, 1950(2)...in addition to cat 1/2..1941, 1946..can we regard this notable decade?. i am not disregarding your post. i am simply suggesting that the 40s were a rather special decade for south florida. ....similiar to the 20s in terms of frequency and intensity. together the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s resulted in only three major sfla landfalls. perhaps, we are entering an era which we havent seen in quite some time........(certainly hope not!)....rich

[Derek Ortt]

my opinion is that we may have seen the activity and were a bit lucky (or unlucky before0

of course, my research and knowledge is more on intensity change than climo

[T'Bonz]

I'm in Broward and it seems we've been spared, with Andrew to the south and Frances and Jeanne to the north.

One day, our luck will run out, I'm afraid.

[robag]

The upper Keys are very long overdue. Key Largo's luck can't hold out too much longer. My town is definitely feeling very lucky.

[MSRobi911]

You don't give a choice for the panhandle in the Central Gulf Coast.

I'm in the middle and four of them came within 50 miles of me -- one came over and at least one other was closer to 20 miles. I worry about the 2005 season. We are still seeing lots and lots of blue plactic roofs in this area. Oh well --life goes on.

[Rainband]

No way to tell. Way too early. Hopefully Florida is missed this year. As Mwatkins said "overdue" doesn't matter. Where a storm makes landfall does. One thing is for sure. Our dry season here has started off very wet
