The 2007 Season

One month to go until the start of the 2007 Atlantic Hurricae Season. All the usual indicators for the season seem to point toward a more active year than last year, but most of us hope for an even quieter one. With a forecasted mild La Nina being more indicative for more storms, there is the likelihood that the average ocean temperature will go down, so it may even out.
I'd expect another average to slighty above average year this year.
Colorado State's predictions (Last updated in April) were for 17 named storms, 9 Hurricanes, and 4 Major Hurricanes, which interestingly enough was the same as last year at this time. I tend to think that number is a bit high, but we'll see as the season progresses.
As to where the storms may approach, that, as alawys is a bit much to predict.
For Floridians, the first week of June is the "Hurricane Preparedness Tax Holiday week", the items you can get sales tax free that week will be:
* Flashlights and other portable, self-powered light sources - $20 or less
* Portable radios, two-way radios and weather-band radios - $75 or less
* Tarps - $50 or less
* Gas or diesel fuel containers - $25 or less
* Batteries - $30 or less (AAA, AA, C and D cell, and 6 and 9 volt batteries)
* Non-electrical food storage coolers - $30 or less
* Portable generators - $1,000 or less
* Carbon monoxide detectors - $75 or less
* Storm shutter devices - $200 or less
If this is your first year using this site, we tend to remain strictly on the topic at hand, and moderate heavily on purpose, which becomes very important during storm events when information and misinformation starts to flow like a river. Don't rely on us as the only source either, use the official site, media, and other links you can find here as well to help keep you informed.
