So only 2 seasons are ahead of 2004, and we are tied with 2003. That makes this the 4th most active hurricane season so far since 1974. Wow.

By popular request... I'll be extending the data set back 20 years to span 1954-2003. I'm working on Alex right now. I'll edit the previous posts and bump them when I'm done.
