It's NOT a slow season yet!!!!

For those people who are saying we are having a slow season. It's NOT a slow season yet!!!! The Atlantic basin has its first storm on average July 11th and its 2nd storm on average August 8th. The first hurricane on average is August 14th and first major hurricane on average September 4th. So, we still have another 7 days before we should even see a 2nd storm and 13 days before we see any hurricane. Also for us South Floridian's, let's go back 10 years to 1992 and the first storm was not until the middle to end of August. It was also a slow year in 1992. But, those of us in South Florida will never remember that as a slow year. It only takes 1 over your area and it will not be considered a slow year to you. Let's just give 2002 a little more time to get rolling. It is going to happen very soon.
