Not at all likely, but Georgia could sure use a TS.

Having been thru about 15 Hurricanes including Andrew when it hit Miami in '92, I can only say that even with the South Florida drought that has impacted us so badly this year and last, I drew a huge sigh of relief when the season ended a few days ago without a strike.

Tropical storms don't just bring a lot of rain, they bring too much rain. More than the ground can absorb. The result is flooding that destroys property and lives. Don't forget the dead coastal storm surge that has a nasty habit of remaking the beaches in negative ways, not to mention the potential loss of life.

As the saying goes: Be careful what you wish for.

I vote that Georgia runs a water pipe down the median of all these interstate highways to all those places that are flooded.
