I'm not too sure myself... lol I am definitely saying more than 5 though...

BTW the forecast I made a couple weeks ago for July was 7-4-3... the 7 could be reached, the 4 ummm MAYbe, another MH though I dont think so lol

the forecast for August I made two weeks ago was 9-6-4... this is based on normal season trend to have more and stronger storms BTW... I'm not really saying I think we will reach that many...

I think at least 2 people who thought they picked '10' picked "more than 10" as in "> 10" because alth poster say they picked 10, there are no votes for "10" and 3 votes for ">10"!

I picked seven. Five doesn't seem to be enough, while eight just seems like too many to me. Of course, 2005 is making history like crazy.

by weighting each option by its percentage of votes, the average comes to 5.24 so far...
