How the 2010 Atlantic Tropical Storm season stacked up:
- Alex was the first June hurricane in the Atlantic since 1995 and the first June Category 2 hurricane since 1966.
- Eleven named storms formed between Aug. 22 and Sept. 29. That was the most to form during this period, breaking the record of nine set in 1933, 1949, 1984 and 2002.
- Five tropical storms formed in October and all became hurricanes. That was only one fewer than the October record of six in 1870.
- For the third straight year, no hurricane reached Category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, with top sustained winds of at least 155 mph.

2010 was the first season since 1900 with 10 or more hurricanes in which none struck the United States. Huh?
"On September 8, 1900, a hurricane struck Galveston. Winds estimated at 140 mph swept over the island, leaving devastation in their wake. After the storm surge of 15.7 feet subsided, Galvestonians left their shelters to find 6,000 of the city's 37,000 residents dead and more than 3,600 buildings totally destroyed."

I have mixed emotions. I live in Florida. I am a catastrophe adjuster. I haven't made any real money in over two years.
I am so broke I can't even pay attention.
However my house is OK. (Just can't pay for it).-

Usually there is a study outlining the over all intensity of the season. Considering how many hurricanes had a short life and the over all low categories registered, it probably will be a low intensity year.

And what were the predictions of the global warming alarmists?
Talk about “the wind going out of their sails”....

Solar Activity is at a minimum right now.
Perhaps the SUN has something to do with the occurrence of hurricanes.

Funny how different regions define the words storm season.
Right now the Rockies are beginning the storm season, the ski resorts open and screaming, and residents scooping the fluff off their driveways and sidewalks. Bring on the storms.
