I have visited this site and a few others related to tropical weather on occation out of a general interest. I only registered and started visiting more regularly this year since my daughter started a job on Sanibel Island this summer. In all the time I visted various sites before I do not remember a time that seemed quite as active as it does right now. However, I was never a regular visiter so it may just have been my timing. I mean it looks like the tropics are now a continual conveyor belt of storms one right after the other with several storms active at once. You hardly know which one to watch. Is this what an active year generally looks like, or are things now getting particularly active.
