Apparently my overly enthusiastic prediction of a cat 5 storm for Kyle last evening did not pan out. I am at a meteorological loss to explain this as I extrapolated the growth of the convection over a 24 hr period. There is something in the air over SE Central Florida that protects us here. Unfortunately State Farm has not bought off on this . Kyle is goimng the way of most storms of this year- weird. I believe in years past ,10 of the 12 storms this year would never have been named . It's obviously a plot to send Gray into early retirement as the NHC does not like the competition. At least my star fruit and avacados are safe again this year.
