...that you guys (especially wxmann_91) should not be writing off the season like this. Come on, we haven't even gotten to the peak of the season yet! How can you say that the activity is going to drop? T.D. Ten fizzled; big deal. That doesn't mean the environment in that area is going to stay that way. I'm still confident that this will be the year that we finally go all the way. Like I've said several times before- Alpha, see you in October or November.
Well, after I looked at our MOTM's post about this season, and of course with this Frank2 saying that he is a former NHC employee and he saying that this season is going to be off too, I was pretty sure this morning that this season was a bust. Now I could've made a premature prediction, but that is certainly possible, and I did say Oct. and Nov. weren't going to be a bust. Of course, after I looked at a few other posts looking at climatology, I guess this is normal. But of course with me only tracking storms for a few years my amateur mind, when I thought of Aug 1-15 I immediately thought of Cat 5 monster Hurricane Allen in 1980, but of course that must of been a pretty rare event like Dennis/Emily this year.
The truth is I owe you guys a formal apology and I must say that the CV season isn't over yet,
but yet what happened during this year's tornado season and what some actually not-so-amateur posters have claimed still troubles me. On the other hand, some other not-so-amateur posters and the hurricane experts at NOAA, like Dr. Gray, say that this year will be active. So the best thing to do right now is to just to sit and relax before things get active (if they do, which is probable).
