NOAA predicts this will be a craptastic hurricane season

Only, you know, they were a little more scientific about their word choice.

In a nutshell:

-- 85% chance of an above-normal season.

-- 14 to 23 named storms!! 8 to 14 hurricanes, 3 to 7 major hurricanes (that's Cat 3 or above

I bet Ellen is doubly triply sorry she wasn't able to get out of Florida...

Whatever happened with that? It seemed like a done deal for so long.

I had forgotten, so I just looked it up. Last year was "50% chance of normal year, 25% above normal, 25% below normal." And then El Nino came along and everyone had to revise their outlook.

This year seems all the ingredients are coming together for a nasty season. Whether they actually do come together...well that remains to be seen.

Oh joy joy! I need to take stock of our supplies.
We're starting to get the summer rain showers in the afternoon.
and you know where I'm at if you need to evacuate out of your area.
