U.S. forecaster sees increased 2010 hurricane threat

MIAMI (Reuters) – The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season will produce an above-average eight hurricanes, four of them major, posing a heightened threat to the U.S. coastline, the Colorado State University hurricane forecasting team predicted on Wednesday.

In its second forecast in four months for the 2010 season, the leading storm research team founded by hurricane forecast pioneer William Gray said the six-month season beginning on June 1 would likely see 15 named tropical storms

If you blow away on this summer day

Then you might as well take the sun away

All the birds that flew in the summer sky

When our love was new and our hearts were high

When the day was young and the night was long

And the moon stood still for the night bird's song

If you blow away, if you blow away

If you blow away, if you blow away

But if you stay, I'll make you a day

Like no day has been, or will be again

We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain

We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind

This is an interesting type of statistic. Completely valid with the data available yet likely to be completely innacurate

Dear God man!!! It is the only safe place to study a huricane from. What did you think, they were right there in the thick of it getting real time data? That would be too much like science and that poo is no fun.

They say it is going to be bad every year. That way everyone remembers they are there because of the 6 minutes of media glory. When it doesn't pan out and there are record lows of storms everyone is happy and no one blames them for b.s.ing.

They should start making thunderstorm predictions.

"There will be 579 possible thunderstorms, 221 of which could become severe. Only 105 are predicted to cause flooding and another 43 of those same storms could spawn tornadoes. When asked how many storms could produce damaging winds, the weather center only mentioned 75 possible storms. Of course all of these stats really don't matter and mother nature will do whatever the hell she wants."

All I know for sure is Gas will rise even if they dont hit the US.
