Hey Steve,you are absolutely correct about Texas,I did'nt see that till after,but overall SE Fla. is still up there and that statistic is pretty amazing considering that SE Fla. really is'nt that big and please excuse my bias but living here in Miami,I expect to be hit every year as I'm sure all of us Hurricane fanatics do

, but in reality even though there are areas more vulnerable than others,anyone from Texas to New England can get hit any given year, it all depends on where the High Pressures & troughs & and all the things that steer the storms are at the time,I mean I've talked about how many Hurricanes have affected SE Fla., go up the coast to NE Fla. & they've only had 9 in the same period of time,& yeah I saw the wave out there in the Atlantic & it sure does look impressive for this time of year,did'nt see one like that last year till late July or early Aug.& Kevin that is true what a strange season 2000 was it seemed that almost every storm had that problem you spoke of lets hope that does'nt happen this year.
