Fair point. I thank many of us on this board feel the Hispaniola storm in late may was at least a TD. Not so sure about the Bermuda system, but you could also make a decent argument we had a TD in the gulf on June 14. NHC chose not to classify.
Now the Bermuda & Gulf storms didn't really cause any mischief, so I won't argue with the NHC call. But the Hispaniola disaster, where I'm sure there were inadequate (if any) warnings, definitely warrants a post-season look-see. Doubt they'll change their call.
You raise an interesting point about the analogs...if we DO look at any of these three storms as having at least been a TD or TS, then maybe we need to look at different years.
I'll give NHC the benefit of the doubt...they're the pros.
Cheers,
