You know...i am sick of these storms. It's getting so you can't even make any plans anymore because you have to worry about some storm coming in every other week. When i first moved to florida in 1987, these storms were unheard of. They always went through the caribbean and turned right into the open atlantic and that was the trend for years. Occasionally one or two would get through because steering currents were just right, like Andrew, who was an August storm (The "A" storm named in August!). Pretty quiet through the years, a few bad storms ripping through the GOM or the Carolinas, but generally pretty quiet. Now we have cat 3's and cat 4's coming at us every other weekend! What the heck!? Whats so different about the atmosphere now that is making these things, 1) So many in number? 2) Intense as heck. 3) All aiming for Fla and the GOM? Can anyone explain that? Can someone tell me and others why all of a sudden Florida has become the worst place to live between June and October? The season ends in November, but the storms peak is usually August-Sep, early Oct.
