1914 had only ONE tropical storm.

No hurricanes.
Do you realize that in 2004 Charley didn't form until August 9th?!(actually it was named on August 10th).
A more modern example, 1983 had 3 hurricanes but only 4 named storms.

The same could be said for a "quiet" 1992, and we all know what happened there...
I hate to burst many bubbles, and I would love no landfalling storms ANYWHERE this year (or any year), but I would rather not lull many people into easing their concern over a "slow" start to a season. Actually, when you think about it and look at it statistically, we are slightly above normal in activity for this season thus far.

Uh, no, it's not. You might want to check those sources.

We're two storms ahead of 2004. That was a busy year, as I recall.

because the true heart of the season does not start until around the 15th of august... we are not even there yet.... thats when it seems all conditions come together... we have told you over and over and over and over that it looks to be above average now for about 4 days straight... just relax
