Dr. William Gray's April 2005 Predictions
|
This year Dr. William Gray and Colorado State University Have continued the active trend of last year into this year. With 13 Named Storms, 6 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes.
The full numbers can be seen on the link here
Dr. Gray doesn't predict landfall, and can't. Although with these numbers, we may be seeing again a very active year. Time will tell.
