I agree STeve, I almost posted the same words on another message board but held back and didn't. Almost the same words about buying batteries.

I think once it gets going it will be a quirky, interesting and a memorable season.

As long as the water is hot in some places and things keep moving then eventually something will pop.

And, in a year where we already had a storm make landfall, gulffall, landfall.. and another moved SW towards Florida I think this year has real "interesting" potential.

Yep..buy batteries.. make a game plan and sit and watch because something, somewhere is going to happen and I would bet money that there will be another landfall and it won't be some mediocre tropical storm.

Sometimes storms like Andrew and Betsy, both in analog years are more interesting and memorable than a bunch of fish smiling pretty for the satellites before they race off to the shipping lanes.

Do we really want a bunch of Danielles out there following the same track over and over recurving up the middle of the Atlantic? Deep down in our heart of hearts???
