Yeah HF, most of the big ones have spun the fishes. Earlier this year when we were just casually throwing out predictions, I said this was the year for a major US strike. From what I've been reading, those who are predicting a CAT III or higher to hit the US think it will be in the GOM. I sure hope not, because canes in the gulf can rapidly intensify, and there might not be enough evac time (though NHC has gotten much better IMO). Not that I'm wishing a major hit on anyone, at least a long tracking CV (ala Isabel) would give the US plenty of time to prepare for a strike.

We're overdue, and maybe not this year or even next, but someone's gonna get whalloped down the road.

Just my $.02

Cheers,
