What Has Been The Oddest Thing(s) About This Season?

#1 Postby MiamiensisWx » Thu Oct 13, 2005 2:46 pm

The 2005 Hurricane Season has been odd in many ways. What do you think has been the oddest thing(s) about the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season so far?

:uarrow: exactly.

If I had to pick the oddest I'll have to go with Vince forming where he did...and becoming a cane where he did too!

Last year, we had an enormous Cat 2, and a very large Cat 3 make landfall within 4 miles of each other, and follow an identical track across Florida. Remember?

Everything has been odd. It makes me paranoid. I start conjuring visions of laser beams from space increasing the heat of the storms. Mad scientists controlling the weather from a hidden bunker. :lol:

Obviously, the whole season has been crazy. To me, though, the lack of true Cape Verde storms has been a total shocker. You'd think with this being the most active season ever, we'd have had tons of action out there by now. Not the case. Anything that has formed out there has died quickly or hasn't amounted to much. However, we have a wave out there now that just might be the first (and only?) true Cape Verde storm of the season. We'll see what happens.

Hmm, oddest thing? - Storm surge three feet high in my living room!! Actually, that was the oddest experience of my entire 48 years. Tried to find that on your list, but no success, so I picked the first choice - two cat 5's in the GOM.

Vince, I certainly wasn't expected to see a TC head up this way without going extratropical before reaching land.

Everything, from the lack of long trackers to Vince, and from the two Cat 5's in the GOM to the two Cat 4's in July.

id pick the fact that its been since 1933 since we had this many storms i think its a combination of global warming and the fact that we are now entering a more active cycle of tropical cyclone development :lol:
