Prior to the season's start, hurricane prognosticators said this season
would be busier than usual, with a higher-than-average chance that one or
more storms would hit the U.S. coast. Generally, those predictions were
right on target, with Texas and large sections of North Carolina, Virginia
and Maryland feeling most of the season's fury.

Of the 14 named storms this season, seven became hurricanes -- two more than
in an average season. Three hurricanes became truly intense, packing winds
of 111 mph or greater -- better than the average of 2.3 per year.

This year, two hurricanes hit the U.S. coastline. Hurricane Claudette
smacked the Texas Gulf Coast in July, uprooting trees, tearing off roofs,
killing two and causing $180 million in damage.

And in September, Hurricane Isabel made landfall on the North Carolina
coast, sparking floods across the Eastern Seaboard, and knocking out power
to hundreds of thousands. Isabel was the deadliest storm of the year,
killing 18, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Citing news media reports, the center attributed 41 deaths to this season's
storms, a number that could have been higher. This year, the hurricane
center began issuing landfall-location forecasts five days in advance,
giving people two more days to plan than under the old three-day-forecast
system.

ahhh, now you've gone and done it! Surely a rough hurricane will be coming
next week! lol

I hope not I get on the Granduer Dec. 6

Somebody needs to tell the hurricanes that, the first named tropical storm
this year was in April.

Just because out-of-season storms exist does not mean they are generally a
threat - In the past 100 years, no hurricane has hit the U.S. mainland
outside of the six-month tropical-storm season, which runs June 1 to Nov.
30. Those of us who live 'in the zone' celebrate anyway - taking all
those extra canned goods to the food bank is a great way to feel like it's
winter.

Chris

Unless you count Allison in 1925 which made landfall in Fla in December.

Season is five months, not six.

Whoops, my bad, storms were not named then, Allison was something different.
Details from the December 1 and 2 storm in 1925:

Extremely rare December Hurricane made landfall south of Tampa Bay early on
the 1st, weakened to a tropical storm as it crossed central Florida, and
exited around St. Augustine. The storm regained Hurricane strength off
Jacksonville late on the 1st. Heavy rain continued over northeast Florida on
the 2nd. Gale force winds were reported from the Keys to Jacksonville and
loss of life exceeded 50, mostly on ships at sea. Damage along the coast
south of Jacksonville was heavy and excessive rain and wind seriously
damaged citrus and truck crops

Sorry, meant to say based on when they actually happen it should be five
months, not six.

Not really sure where the rest of the sentance went.
