A silly question.

This is the general tropical discussion area. Anyone can take their shot at predicting a storms path.

Why did last year have so many small storms that hit the coast. While this year there are tons of weak storms that are fishes this year. Besides Dennis,Emily,arlene,and Cindy.

Hit the U.S. coast or North American coast? Remember, Mexico has a coast where 2 tropical storms hit and a hurricane (Bret, Gert, and Emily). Sure, there are a couple of fishes (Franklin that hit Bahamas, Harvey that hit Bermuda), but every season has that. Plus, we are only in mid August. Up to this point last year, we had 2 hurricane landfalls and a tropical storm (Alex and Charley H's, Bonnie TS). This year we have 2 hurricane landfalls and 4 tropical storm landfalls. Give it time!

MOST tropical cyclones are weak fishes.
