One word: Georgia

My sister and her family visited Hilton Head last week-- which is right near the SC/GA line. She asked when was the last time they had a bad/major hurricane and was told the early 50's. All others have veered northward towards Charleston or NC. So, it's been awhile for that part of the coast.

I know that in my recent research of my Local Weather Data Archives, and Maine and New Brunswick News Papers, that I found something rather interesting; the really damaging storms that occurred in the 1930s, 1940s and early 1950s occurred during years with Dry Springs and Summers, and then switching to Wet late Summers and Falls. At least in my own part of the World. Same as it has been this Spring, thus far. Probably doesn't mean anything, just thought I'd throw it out there.

That seems true to an extent. Look at 1999's very severe Eastern drought. Floyd, and to a lesser extent Dennis, broke that one.

However Isabel in 2003 came AFTER a severe drought, and during a very wet period.

We shall have to see. 2005 was pretty dry during the summer months in the East, and is somewhat dry now though we've had some very beneficial rain lately.

Of course anything can happen, but I have a bad feeling that Rita was a warning shot for Houston. My gut along with some of the "seasonal predictions from tea leaves" tells me that TX gets it this year.
