From another perspective, seems to me we are quite a diverse group here on the Tropical Discussion Board. Pretty well-rounded representation in many of the groups, but the 40-somethings are leading the pack!! :wink:

I'm 56 and became obsessed with hurricanes after experiencing Frederic in 1979.

I'm 47 and I've had a lifelong fascination with hurricanes since experiencing my first in 1963 in Galveston TX.I think her name was Cindy.

I’m 36 and have been interested in weather since a meteorology class that I took in 2000. I’ve been watching the tropics since last year’s busy season.

I just found you guys in the late spring this year and I’m glad I did. I’m learning a lot about these storms off the pros and other watchers here.

I used to think that an obsessive interest with weather was a phenomenon of senior citizens, but at least based on this forum it seems to be more a mid-life thing. Heck, I (age 44) have been afflicted since Ivan last year.

47 tracking since 1965. In my 8 year old wisdom, I was positive that Betsy made the loop to New Orleans because I wished it.

Thanks for doing this work Ixolib, good job! Just one small correction. You transposed my age with tracking years. I'm 38, been tracking for 27.
