What happened to the East Coast storms?

JB and others hyped up an active East coast season yet they've had VERY little if any activity this season. This has obviously been the year of the GOM storms. What happened?

East Coast really only had one -- Ophelia, and that was considered a brush not a hit.

IIRC Wilma would be the 13th storm to get in the GOM. Unbelievable.

Wilma might be an east coast storm if goes through flordia.

It's very simple- the lack of Cape Verde storms.

Wilma *could* potentially rake the east coast-but we will have to see about that, and it certainly is not likely.

I'm glad for a break from all the action, the 90's were bad unough, uggghhh, and we have had a ton since then, so we finally get our break, and Ophelia may have only been a "brush" but I'm seeing more blue tarps here than after Isabel, not to mention the fact that her winds stayed over us for several days...

I have a bad feeling next year will have a lot of cape verde storms, and the EC is not going to fare well.

Maybe we will have a year of fish....

maybe next year could be a complete bust. I sure hope so because it will take years to recover from the 3 storms we have had this year so far. I will never again hope for an active GOM year.

I agree but also not to forget Hurricane Ophelia's damage to our coastal areas :eek:

I think that there are cycles of where places get hit, for example 1990's was Carolinas and 2000's have been Gulf Coast and Florida.
