Time is flying way too fast, believe it or not I just cleaned up the debris from 2004 Hurricane Season It was Charlie that caused the damage and i was home when it struck, I can remember it like it was yesteday, and now here it is Hurricane Season 2006 approaching. :eek:

meteorologyman · #303 Postby **meteorologyman** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 8:37 am

You know I can't help thinking tha both the Gulf and the East coast have an 88% chance of getting struck by hurricane a major one at that, since Florida is located both on the Gulf and the East coast does that put Florida in a middle of a hard place? :eek:

Can someone please give me an educated guess on how Florida is going to do this year.

I want you gulf coast people to have a break

Thanks a LOT, Hurricaneman. I know it's not easy NOT to get psyched up when this time of year comes around--especially for the kinds of weather aficcionados most folks in here are; but I truly dread this season, and will actually be waiting for it to END safely, as opposed to all those anxiously awaiting it's arrival.

Perhaps another year of rebuilding, strengthening our infrastructure, and return to normality, and I'll begin to get some of that "cane fever" I once had as the season approached again. 8-)

Well, I will be watching your posts closely during the whole season. I can rely on you. Are you getting anxious? Like Forrest said, Canes are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get... :ggreen:

No not anxious at all.Only I do this as part of what a moderator does and that is to provide the best information and to make this forum run as smooth as possible.

I am kind of anxious. We have been too lucky for too long. I just hope no one gets what the gulf got last year. I have a funny feeling this year, but I will be prepared as always.
Thanks for the good work.

i have a strong feeling that we won't see a named storm untill
late august... we deserve a break. Lets just let June 1st come
and go...

#316 Postby **skysummit** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 11:41 am

Think we'll get a storm before June 1? We're counting down to the beginning of the season, but I wonder if the season will give us an early visit?

Late August?

I think we see our first storm probably in July, then towards the beginning of August through late October/Early November. Storms will form at a frantic pace. Kind of similar to 2004, with a December storm for good measure.

2006 Season has arrived!!
