I'm really beginning to get nervous. Like the grinch that stole the storms or something :(

Seriously, cyclones transfer heat/energy from the equatorial regions to the poles and they are part of a natural, ongoing, green process of keeping the air flowing and when things get bottled up. Nature usually has a mean way of re-balancing.

Sometimes the same year, sometimes the next year. Time is a fraction of a blink of an eye in the eyes of Time.

And, note 1925's #4 was rarely much more than a strong thunderstorm moving along a frontal boundary. Well... maybe that's my interpretation but wasn't much to write home about.

Personally, I think Tampa is vulnerable in a year like this...

Next comes the very quiet 97 ... the graphics with late storms really does not do it's boringness justice:

1998 on the contrary was a powerful year

I don't know. Personally, this is more of a problem than some years when things start in the July 20s more because we have had so little to look at.. it's not like there are some close calls that looked like strong tropical storms that Bill Sheets refused to upgrade and then fell apart or questionable disturbances slamming into Haiti without a name.

We have barely had a good blob!
