Quote: does anyone else find it odd that out of eight storms, only two were classified as hurricanes?
does anyone else think Cindy and Franklin may have been hurricanes for a brief time?
Actually, I was thinking that myself off and on for a while, My theory for Cindy was that the NHC didn't want to upgrade when it was obviously landfalling and the possible cost and hassle of evacuations were too great to really justify calling it. I expect it'll be a hurricane in the post analysis.
Franklin on the other hand, who knows. I just don't think they had enough information to pull the trigger.
But yeah, I really didn't expect to see all the storms either hold below hurricane intensity or really ramp up to some pretty fierce levels.
Seems kinda odd. But we have the rest of the season to have things kinda normalize.
