I know these years are a long way off, but I am just wondering what storms in the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 will be the worst?

Thanks

I'm ready to see the 2011 list!

Chris

Debby

Ernesto

Issac

Leslie

[f5]

the 2005 list should be retired beacuse that was a benchmark year even the biggest prize of all the most intense storm form in this year

[Andrew92]

Guys, this thread is supposed to be about what names sound threatening in 2006 ONLY, not names for another year. Keep that topic to another thread please. Thank you.

Here's my rundown of the first 16 names, as that's how many I am going to guess at this time:

Alberto - Strong TS, hits the northern Gulf Coast somewhere, probably the Florida Panhandle

Beryl - Early season C1 hurricane, fish

Chris - C2 July hurricane, also a fish but briefly threatens the Bahamas and the East Coast.

Debby - For some reason, this one sounds like a dud instead of the big one like many think

Ernesto - YUCK! I am aware of this guy's history, but I think he's biding his time. Not as big as Michael (see below), but a definite troublemaker for someone in
Texas. C2 or C3 at landfall in the first week of August. First intense hurricane of the season, I think.

Florence - Fish, but a C4

Gordon - Weak fish, similar to Lee but a little stronger

Helene - Tough one to call. I originally was thinking a strong TS fish (70 mph), but I recently have had a mixed vibe off of this one. If these vibes hold true, I say a C3 into Florida. But I'm gonna go with my original fish feeling for now, perhaps wishful thinking.

Isaac - Very strong C4, 150 mph. Fortunately, is also a fish, but makes a bigtime threat to the East Coast.

Joyce - Think back to 1996. Isaac could be this year's Edouard, which also was a very strong hurricane, made a big threat to the East Coast, but missed. Then Fran came and smacked NC at a C3 hard. If Isaac is this year's Edouard, Joyce is the Fran. Except I have her hitting Central Florida and then heading inland, ala Jeanne, but a Fran-like path. Like Fran, a C3 at landfall in early September. (Disclaimer: If, however, Helene has been a big one for Florida like I mentioned as a possibility, Joyce will instead take Helene's spot and be a 70-mph fish)

Kirk - Lee's younger brother. Pathetic 40-mph fish storm, barely lasts a day or two.

Leslie - Another fish TS. 50-60 mph.

Michael - THIS IS THE ONE. Late September. Very large and very intense C4 hurricane (borderline C5 in fact, but not quite), very similar in appearance to Floyd. Weakens before it strikes, but not nearly as fast as Floyd did. 125 mph C3 at landfall in coastal NC while moving fast, then moves offshore, and hits New England as a C1 with 80-85 mph winds. Causes MAJOR damage all along the East Coast. HUGE wake-up call for residents of the New England states and for New York City, as they will receive NASTY conditions from this bad boy. As for destruction, think somewhere near the Long Island Express! I'm serious, Michael sounds THAT bad.

Nadine - C2 fish in October, but briefly threatens Bermuda. Think Nate.

Oscar - Late-season C3 in October, hits Mexico hard.

Patty - November TS of subtropical origins, never a threat but tries to become another surprise hurricane. 70 mph.

So in short, Ernesto, either Helene or Joyce, and Michael are the ones the U.S. needs to watch out for, especially Michael. However, I think Joyce has more of the sound to it than Helene right now. In addition, Mexico has a big one in Oscar. That name just doesn't sound quite right for some reason, but nothing like Michael.

Ican see it now" The orion is hitting the gulf coast"

[CrazyC83]

My prediction: Hurricane Helene is the BIG ONE and the East Coast's Katrina.

It makes first landfall over Cape Hatteras as a Category 4 hurricane (having weakened from Category 5 in the Gulf Stream) and then in the Chesapeake/Delaware Bay area as a strong Category 3 hurricane. However, the wind field is incredibly large after 1 1/2 weeks in the Atlantic and numerous eyewall cycles. Hurricane winds extend out 250 miles and tropical storm winds 490 miles.

The entire Eastern Seaboard is heavily damaged, and as a strong and fairly fast moving storm, the damage field spreads very far inland. Damage is in the $100 billion range and more than 70 million people lose power from Maine to South Carolina and all the way inland to the Great Lakes. The storm surge also wrecks communities all along the coast.

forgot about this thread here are the names I would replace if these stomrs are retired.

[Brandon007]

I think Florence(kind of like Floyd), Helene, Isaac, and either Leslie or Joyce will be the major ones to impact the US I also like Alberto but somehow I just don't think the first one will be the big one.

[AndrewSmith2500]

Many threads have already been created about the topic, though it's all right.

As I've stated so many times before, Debby for 2006 gives me really bad vibes, just as Katrina did this time last year. Like Katrina, I have used Debby in many of my fantasy hurricane tracks that I've done.

And also that it missed its chance six years ago too.

Kirk, Sandy, and Tony give me bad vibes as well.

If the names you think will be retired, then what do you think of this list?

CapeVerde what will be left of the Yucatan be based on your predictions?
And you think there will be multiple Texas threats? It looks like, then, you are calling for very strong ridging over the western Atlantic that extends all the way in the GOM. It could be a possibility this year, but unlikely.
