Just an ordinary year. Couldn't be global warming. Nah.

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


I wonder how many cat 4 or 5 hurricanes there have been this late in the
season in prior years.

Two - Mitch (98), and Hattie (61)

Interestingly, only 6 of the CAT 5's were in hot August, and 18 were
in September. This year it's one per month, and each one selects
something from the record-book.

Even if Landsea's Lost n Found project finds a few corrections from
the past, he's gonna have to hum a pretty good tune to say the
intensity increases predicted by the AGW models weren't showing up,
eh?
