Gray: Expect a busy hurricane season

-8 Hurricanes, 4 of them major
-15 Named storms, the average is 9.6
-44-45% chance of hitting Florida

On the bright side Gray usually gets it wrong.

I'll lash the Harley to the big pine tree, and park the car next to the Harley. I'll also make sure to video each and every item inside and outside my house, and hope for the best......when all else fails, make sure you have good insurance. I'm hoping the hurricane season will take care of the oil-spill problem, but in a good way.

With about 6 weeks left in the season:

15 named storms, as of Otto
7 hurricanes
5 major hurricanes (Cat 3 or above)
Danielle, Earl, Igor, Julia, and Karl

See this:
Tropical Weather Summary

The large number of "fish storms" has made an otherwise active season look less busy than it actually has been.

Given how far in advance the CSU forecast comes out, they've done a pretty good job this year.

I think they are always faily close on the numbers of storms. It's the landfall predictions that burn them, but I don't really mind them getting that part wrong. I'm just not looking forward to the day that they say 1 or 2 major landfalls, and then, we get tagged with 5 or 6! It works both ways!

Exactly, I only sweat it when he says Florida's in the clear. Usually means that Miami or Ft. Lauderdale is ready for an extreme makeover.
