Did ANYONE think we'd be at 5/2/1 before July 15?

Nope. We're a month ahead of last year(Charley was the 2nd major on August 13th), and we know how bad that season was.

Brent - It's downright scary to think what this season may hold for us.

Well GREATONE would have! :lol: In fact, when he briefly joined another board (before getting banned of course) and made his seasonal called, he said 21 named storms. I hate feeding a troll, but he may actually be closer than all of us.

We should arguably be at 5/3/1 (Cindy had an eye on radar just prior to landfall), and Arlene topped out at 70mph.

Just exactly what I was going to say! And as for the 5/2/1... It's mildly irritating... Seeing as BOTH Arlene and Cindy reached 70 mph Tropical Storm strength. We could easily be at 5/4/1.

Well, we are likely going to make 5/2/2 before or on the 15th - hard to imagine.

I agree - Cindy was a cat 1 at landfall. I ws in the NW quad as she passed by, and it still got a bit rough.

Cindy passed right over me. 5 hours of pure terror. Scared the bejeezes out of me and my dogs. My yard is still a wreck and I have a least a big truck load of tree debris on the street still waiting for pickup. Mature trees down from the roots. Probably a hurricane.

I thought it would be busy, but not this busy and intense. So far all have hit land too.
