Default Don't believe the National Weather Service any more.

What is significant is the number of hurricanes, for the second year in

It seemed so when the thread started, but we *are* just into prime-time
for 'canes, and I believe this is the first year that two category 5s
hit land, at least so close together.

I can't figure out why some seem so worked up about the NOAA
predictions not "tracking true" early in the season.

If "your" crystal ball is better than theirs, I wanna go to the casino
with you.
