Go Noles

>>I post there partially because my major professor asked me if two cat. 4+ storms had ever made landfall in the U.S. in a year and partially because it's a scenario we could see play out over the remainder of this season, starting with Frances. It's a rarity folks, but it can happen.

Interesting points Clark. I see you're thinking along the same lines as I am. I told HF in a PM that 5 majors impacting the coast is a big stretch, but the idea of 5 landfalling canes in 2004 isn't by a long shot. The Gulf season (though Charley snuck in) hasn't even started. Sometimes we see June action and then go dry until late August through late October. We've got a long way to go.

One thing though - wasn't Bret a 4 at landfall near King's Ranch?
