John Morales is from Puerto Rico and is a good meterologist who works with many private firms as he does forecasts for them.Here he is at WOSO 1030 AM San Juan. About those stats well I hope that Florida doe not get hitted by a major cane during this 2004 season or never but all must be prepared for the worse case scenario but hoping for the best in the sunshine state

John Morales is a friend of mine, and he is an extremely good Meteorologist. I know him personally since he was working in the Hispanic Boadcasting Station Univision 23, right now he is working for TELEMUNDO 51 as "Jefe de Meteorología", or "Shief of Meteorology". Because he is working in Broward County now I keep in touch with him by phone. One of the most important thing he has done is being in the air for 25 hours when Hurricane Andrew came through South Florida. Also he has being awarded with, I believe, 2 Emmys.

JOHN MORALES' BIBLIOGRAPHY:
John Toohey Morales, has been, for the past decade, the source of information and trust for millions of Hispanic viewers when it comes to weather. His accurate weather predictions and non-alarmist style helped save many lives during Hurricane Andrew in 1992. According to John, it was receiving letters of gratitude from his audience that gave him the most satisfaction.
Born in Schenectady, New York of an Irish-American father and a Puerto Rican mother, John was raised in Puerto Rico and later returned to his roots in New York to attend the meteorology program at prestigious Cornell University.
After graduation, in 1984, he was hired by United States National Weather Service to work in San Juan, Puerto Rico; Lake Charles, Louisiana and Washington, D.C. During his government career, John became a Forecaster in Charge, before accepting a position as Chief of the South American Desk at the National Center for Environmental Predictions.
It wasn't long before the Univision station in Miami began calling. By 1991 John had joined the affiliate and by 1992 he became the Univision Network Meteorologist. In doing so he became a pioneer in Spanish-language broadcasting by becoming the first certified meteorologist on Spanish-language television in the United States. Since then he appears daily across the country and in Latin America on the highly-rated news magazine show "Primer Impacto," as well as other news programs when dangerous weather conditions require his expert analysis. In 1993 he was awarded an Emmy for "48 Horas Antes de la Tormenta" (48 Hours Before the Storm).
John holds the National Weather Association's and the American Meteorological Society's Seal of Approval for Radio and TV weather-casting. In 1998 he was designated a Certified Consulting Meteorologist. This distinction is awarded after a rigorous, peer-review process to less than 5% of the American Meteorological Society members.
In 1997 John was invited to the White House by President Clinton to participate in a conference on global warming and climate changes with other leading national broadcast meteorologists. As a weather consultant he has appeared as an expert witness in cases where weather is a factor, as well as being the consultant for the Governor of Puerto Rico.
In addition to his work in television, John Morales is heard on over sixty radio stations in the United States, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and the Virgin Islands both in English and in Spanish. John is also the author of "Huracanes: Conozca su Enemigo" an everyday reference book on Hurricanes. He enjoys his free time piloting his Cessna 210. He currently resides in South Miami with his family.

2004 will be the 4th dryest May on record
What will happen this year?
Note also that those 3 years were also years of relatively average-to-low tropical cyclone development:
1935 - 6 storms total; 1 tropical storm, 5 hurricanes/2 of them major (CAT 5, CAT 3)
1965 - 6 storms total; 2 tropical storms, 4 hurricanes/1 major (CAT 4)
1992 - 7 storms total; 3 tropical storms, 4 hurricanes/1 major (CAT 5)
Certainly no correlation is implied here, but it is interesting in light of the aforementioned ongoing drought and the above average storm development numbers generally predicted for this year.
