Hurricanes: No News is Good News
Posted by Chuck Grantham on July 1, 2009
Courtesy of Rob Lightbown’s Tropical Weather Discussion today:
“We have now officially ended June with no named storms. This is the first time that this has happened since 2004.”
This is music to the ears of those of us living on the US Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts.
And the good news continues: things are likely clear through the Fourth of July weekend.
This is fortunate because I haven’t done the annual “What Books Will I Take?” list yet this year. And I’ve got a few DVDs to cram into the carrying cases, too.

huh…that’s actually quite depressing considering that 2004 was a brutal year for Florida….tropical storm/hurricane wise.

Terri,
Yes, I had the thought, “Let’s hope it’s not a slow build-up to a rough season.”
And it only takes one bad one to make a memorable season. Especially if it plows into your area.
