As of today, it has been a record 118 months since the last major hurricane struck the continental United States, according to records kept by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Hurricane Research Division, which list all hurricanes to strike the U.S. mainland going back to 1851
A major hurricane is Category 3 or higher hurrucine. The last one to strike the continental U.S. was Hurricane Wilma, which made landfall in Florida on Oct. 24, 2005.

For the upcoming Christmas Season, the environweenies have proposed a sacramental biscuit called Earth Toast to be used at environmental gatherings to build group cohesiveness. It will be promoted as a gift item for the holidays.

What you’ve gotchere is your global warming paradox.
If you’ll look at the chart on the... well, where is that thing? It was here a minute ago.
Anyway, if it’s hot or if it’s cold, it’s global warming.
If there are more hurricanes or less, it’s global warming.
If the ice at the Arctic or Antarctic is growing or melting, it’s global worming.
If grass is brown or green, it’s global warming.
If there is too much or too little rain, it’s global warming.
If there’s record low winter weather or record warm winter weather, it’s global warming.
If it’s a colder than normal six months ending half-way through summer, it’s global warming when it warms up. In fact, it wouldn’t have warmed up if it weren’t for global warming.
I hope this clears things up for you.
This is series, and we all know that hugg.
Now I didn’t know this, until the Sheriff engraved it on a bullet, and gave it to me.

HURRICANE DROUGHT?
I thought NOT getting hit by a hurricane was a GOOD thing.
We have too many hurricanes. Global warming! We don’t have hurricanes. Global warming! Aargh!
And needs more cowbell!
Enjoying the calm in the West. ;-)
Experienced a Category 4 living in South Carolina in the form of Hurricane Hugo.
Hope to never see anything of that nature ever again.
But but but....that can’t possibly be right. I mean, global warming and all
Technically, Sandy was a Post-Tropical Cyclone’ with hurricane force winds. Realistically though, she was a hurricane. Not issuing hurricane warnings was stupid. It’s along the lines of demoting Pluto from planet status, except that didn’t get anyone killed.
Sandy combined with another storm and became extra tropical. Bastardi says you see more hurricanes travel up and off the east coast in this weather pattern. Cold Atlantic. They are not strong enough to plow into the Gulf. So no more Katrina’s. Although we are at the end of this solar max cycle, a weak cycle but there is a little bit of excess energy. A Cat 3 might be possible but no cat 4 or 5 at US landfall.
“Hurricane Drought”...excuse me?....I thought less hurricanes was a good thing...
Ike was a Cat one. But like you said, it was huge, practically covered the entire Gulf of Mexico. Major damage 50 miles from the coast that had nothing to do with storm surge.
Ike hit areas and infrastructure that were vulnerable. Like Sandy, it didn’t seem to be that bad of a storm (CAT numbers are based on wind speed, and perhaps not comprehensive in their measure of destructive potential), but rainfall from a huge storm like that in the right terrain becomes a problem all its own.
GlobaL warming. Or weirding. Or cooling. One of those.
Now they gone done it, we're about to get 50 hurricanes in the next two months... They put the Whammy on it!
Yet the leftards keep saying we have record amounts of storms.
**Global warming said we would have more Katrinas,**
i still have my copy of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC with KATRINA on the cover and the glo-bull warnings of gloom an doom.
“Enjoying the calm in the West. ;-)”
Yeah, but we sure could use a drought of fires!
