What tv channel am I on? 

[reednavy]

Oh well, can't win em all. Later Ana.

She's fighting and losing. However, her energy might stay together some. Interesting that some models are still showing some redevelopment.

may I suggest we predict the first named storm? It does not matter what category it is in. If it has a name. It counts. The date is the date it got named. My bet is June 24th.

I'll go with June 17th for Ana to appear.

Hmmmm.... guess my predictions were a bit off.

^    I'm still holding onto my original storm count though!!

[gatorback]

Did that storm count include a land fall in Cali? Lol

[Doctor_K]

No way.  The title of the thread is 2009 *Atlantic* hurricane season.

[gatorback]

My bad. I stand corrected.  That storm is hurricane Jimena--not an Atlantic storm. Thank goodness she weakened.

[Doctor_K]

Oh, no doubt.  She was a Cat-5 for a while, no?  She's down to Cat-3 as of the 8 PM update.

In the meantime, Erika is new in the Atlantic.  Meandering Tropical Storm who's not in much of a hurry to go anywhere.  I know September is typically the peak of the season, IIRC, but 5 named storms at this point?  Weak (and delightfully so) season.

Eat that, Colorado State!

[gatorback]

Seriously.  This must be the year of the down grade.  But, I remember a few years back. There were torrential rains + massive fires--then Katrina. So, I'm thinking we are not in the clear yet. I'd hate for the 'big one' to hit this year. Again.

God is angry...we are due soon.
