Weird Prediction !!

#1 Postby dgparent » Thu Jul 14, 2005 1:36 pm

OK since we had 2 shark attacks off of Florida this year and 2 of the named storms this year have affected Florida, I am using "Shark Attacks" for my model. The last shark attack was in Texas yesterday, so I think Dennis is going to hit Texas, and for 10 bonus points, since the girl the shark was attacked is from NC, I predict the next named storm, probably 99L, Franklin will hit NC.

(CNN) -- A shark attacked a 14-year-old North Carolina girl in waters off the Texas coast near Galveston on Wednesday, ripping tendons in her left foot and leaving several teeth imbedded in her tissue.

There were two male victims, right? Maybe that's the correct input data. I think your model just needs a little further tweaking.

Don't give up on it.
