then again, if you look at all the systems that have been in the area after september 20th over the last ten years, only a few have actually made it up to bother the u.s.
1994, gordon--mid nov, south florida/eastern nc
1995, opal--early oct, fl panhandle
1995, roxanne--mid oct, no u.s. effect, yucatan
1996, kyle--mid oct, no u.s. effect, belize
1996, lili--mid oct, no u.s. effect, cuba/bahamas
1996, marco--mid nov, no u.s. effect, cayman islands
1998, mitch--late oct-early nov, central america, s. florida
1999, irene--mid oct, cuba, s. florida
1999, katrina--late oct, no u.s. effect, central america
1999, lenny--mid nov, no u.s. effect, NE caribbean
2000, keith--late sep-early oct, no. u.s. effect, mexico
2000, leslie--early oct, central fl
2001, iris--early oct, no. u.s. effect, belize
2001, michelle--late oct-early nov, u.s. graze, cuba/bahamas
2002, isidore--late sep, yucatan/louisiana
2002, lili--late sep-early oct, jamaica/cuba/louisiana
so here's the tally
total systems in region: 16
total major hurricanes from region: 10 (63%)
total systems to cross u.s. coastline: 7 (44%)
total to cross u.s. coastline at hurr. strength: 3 (19%)
total to hit u.s. as major hurricane: 1 (6%--opal)
here's yet another graphic demonstrating how big hurricanes have tended to avoid the united states during the recent activity upswing. will this year be any different? if isabel was any indication as to the hold of that trend, have yourself a nice keys vacation the second week of october.
