One of these years, they're gonna NAIL it!

"We still expect that to support an above average hurricane season," Lubchenco said...

'...otherwise, I wouldn't have a job.'

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

We here in Fla will be totally F.....d if we get major hurricianes!

The briliant ‘dem” Gov charlie Christ drove out a lot of private ins co and we have a “govt hurricane ins co” that is waaaaay below market price...guess who picks up the tab?
Yup, the taxes we will pay.

and why am I paying for someone who decides to live on the beach? Yup, we are.

Indeed. One of these years there will be more than one major hurricane. Bet what the cause will said to be?

A hint, to prevent it we will have to take away your liberty.

forecasters warned U.S. coastal residents that odds are diminished that they can't expect a sixth straight year without a major landfall on either the Atlantic or Gulf coasts.

They fell for the Gambler's Fallacy--some scientists they are.

odds are diminished that they can't expect a sixth straight year without a major landfall

I predict a rise in double, triple and quadruple negatives this year. Confusion will reign.

[darkwing104]

Same old crap different year...

[KosmicKitty]

Isn’t 3-6 storms average, if not a bit low.

Every year they say the exact same thing, worse than average year. Well, they have a 50% chance of being right. One half of all years will be less than average, and one half of all years will be greater than average. That’s the way averages work.

Damn. I wish I could take one of these weather guessers to Vegas with me.

But, wait. Did they give the exact odds?

[moovova]

...NOAA - the end is near...

I thought that was supposed to happen today???

[Tribune7]

Frankly, I have more respect for Harold Camping

[ßuddaßudd]

Yep. hurricane season coming this summer.
Give FEMA your coordinates now and beat the rush.

Let us pray that God will continue to bless us and look with favor on us.

[Jack Hydrazine]

A broken clock is correct twice a day. If the NOAA doesn’t get it right this year does that mean we can call The Donald and have him fire the whole lot?

[stboz]

The first major storm of the season just formed....

Hurricain Herman!

[WKUHilltopper]

Was it not long after Katrina (maybe it was Ivan) they predicted “millions” of hurricanes would get us because of global warming? They even doubled up on the assigned names—these people have out done themselves in stupidity before.

Here’s my prediction—some where, some place, it is going to rain today.

[HollyB]

Looks like the list of names begin with:

Arlene, then Bret, Cindy, Don, Emily, Franklin, Gert, Harvey, Irene.

That should keep us busy for a while.
