In related but unreported news, it has now been 2477 days since the last major (magnitude 3 or greater) hurricane has made landfall in the US. This shatters the previous record of 2231 days set 19 Oct 1906.
This calm period is caused by Global Warming, as would be a period of hurricane activity, and it's all Bush's fault.
