Where are the hurricanes??

🌧 Where are the hurricanes? It’s the last day of August, and there hasn’t been a named storm in the Atlantic Hurricane Alley this month—the first time that’s happened in 25 years. Atlantic hurricane season lasts through November, though, and meteorologists are already monitoring a storm that could grow into something significant by Labor Day.

He is convinced it is going to be a rough cold winter locally. He bases it on the hot dry drought Spring and then the spike in moisture here recently.

I'm inclined to believe he knows what he's talking about.

We need the water, but not the flooding.


And don’t worry the hurricanes will come

Great news!

Not so good for the disaster fear porn peddlers on TWC! Quietest hurricane season since 1941!!! Predictions were all wrong, poor babies.
