No, it's not an "ordinary year", but it's a typical year among those
years that include a busier hurricane season.

Tell you what, sport, ever heard of El Nino? That is an example of...
1) a natural phenomenon...
2) that is made worse by Global Warming.
Climate scientists agree on both those points.

It just so happens that El Nino years feature a remarkable LACK of
hurricanes. Give it some thought. Blaming GW for hurricanes is worse
than stupid.

Holy ****, is this going to start happening every year, or even get worse?

Not according to Hurricane scientists. Do you actually think that if
man had used, say, only 1/10 of the fossil fuel we have actually used,
that the climate wouild be any different?

Name any other year in history that had 3 catagory 5 hurricanes.

Name the one other year that had 21 cyclones, but no cat 5s?
1933 : TS=11, C1=2, C2=3, C3=3, C4=2

Name the only other year that had 12 hurricanes?
1969 : TS=6, C1=5, C2=2, C3=4, C5=1

Name the ONLY year that had 12 Hurricanes AND 21 cyclones AND 2 cat 5
canes?
2005 : TS=9, C1=6, C3=1, C4=2, C5=3

Name the ONLY decade in record-keeping history with 5 Cat 5s?
1996 : TS=4, C1=3, C3=4, C4=2
1997 : TS=5, C1=1, C3=1
1998 : TS=4, C1=3, C2=4, C3=1, C4=1, C5=1
1999 : TS=4, C2=3, C4=5
2000 : TS=7, C1=5, C3=1, C4=2
2001 : TS=6, C1=5, C3=2, C4=2
2002 : TS=8, C1=1, C2=1, C3=1, C4=1
2003 : TS=9, C1=3, C2=1, C3=2, C5=1
2004 : TS=5, C1=1, C2=1, C3=2, C4=3, C5=1
2005 : TS=9, C1=6, C3=1, C4=2, C5=3

Winter 1997-1998 was an El Nino year of particular severity: what did
the weather do the summer of 98?
1998 : TS=4, C1=3, C2=4, C3=1, C4=1, C5=1

Winter 2002-2003 was a severe El Nino: what did the weather do the
summer of 03?
2003 : TS=9, C1=3, C2=1, C3=2, C5=1

It was different when Man used only 1/10th the fossil fuels: That is
why NOW is worse.
PERCENTAGE DIFFERENCE 1996-2005 to averages 1851-1995
144% MORE Tropical Storms, 1996-2005
47% MORE Hurricanes Category 1, 1996-2005

(Upto 2005 Hurricane Wilma C5)

The U.S. has time to deflect or suppress Hurricane Wilma. The question
is will they do it and if not, why not?

If we don't even have the technology to defect @ssholes like you, we
surely are powerless against even the small ill winds that blowhard.
