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.

Why is that at all interesting? September is the peak hurricane
month -- why shouldn't you expect more strong hurricanes in Sept?
You seem to be implying that SSTs are remarkably warmer in August
than in September. Are you? On what basis?

Feel better?

Actually, no change. Gonna answer the question?

I found it interesting. You turned it into an assumptive pile-up of
questions. My guess is you figured if you threw enough chum in the
water you could make something out of my observation that was never
there.

(and somehow I think you felt better after your machine-gun set than
after reading my responses)


btw, re-learned a word today: trochoidal. Where's my
super-spirograph? What a great satellite loop of Wilma.
