To think I watched this come ashore as a TD in EUROPE 868 miles from me.

By far the strangest.

I think that, combined with everything, the entire season has been odd in everything.

I think it has been a normal season. Just the last hundred years has been quit. The only thing different is Vince.

One of the oddest things about this season is how dadgum slow the storms have taken to develop from swirling masses of clouds with barely detectable circulation for days on end. The Caribbean has been active for what seems like WEEKS just itching to get the right conditions for a storms to pop.

Quite frankly, possibly every other season prior to this has been abnormal (or in the inactive cycle). This season might be the norm for years to come.

Not on your poll but how about Wilma bombing overnight to set the Atlantic record for lowest barometric pressure? Also the record in the Atlantic for the largest drop in a 24 hour period.
