15-20. The Atlantic can't keep popping them out like this for the ENTIRE season. [Although, I could be proven wrong!]

well... that's my thinking also... but some people believe that the pattern might shift or something, and I'm not going to rule that out either

I'm kind of hoping Luis loses track of that preseason numbers thread. :lol: I thought I was being kind of agressive, but now I'm thinking my numbers were way low. :eek:

15-8-4 was my prediction as well. I thought i was being aggressive. However, at this rate we might be pretty close. Time will tell. I hope they are all fish.

I remember many years in mid July waiting on the first storm to form. Wondering if it would be a bummer season. Not this year! What a season. Looks like everybody from Brownsville to Maine will get a scare or be in the middle of it.

hmm... for a forecast for NS-H-MH I would say...

20-12-8

I'm probably pretty high with the forecast but you never know... techniquely at the rate we are going and going by the fact that things are even more active in August and September we could get as high as 30-20-10 but since that is simply outrageous, I'm going a BIT lower than that :wink:
