We're headed into our 2nd week of September and it seems like one of the slowest hurrican seasons ever! I can't believe it. I know it's not over yet, but once October hits....things really begin to quiet down in the tropics. Tho, the risk remains in Octobeer...the chances get smaller and smaller each day.

anyone care to discuss your feelings on this? As to why things in the tropics aren't more active?

Theres really been nothing happeneing. And for this time of year this seems extremely rare.

I know the theory of Global Warming is controversial but feel we're at least going into a different climate cycle than what we have been accustomed to. If this season passes without a major hurricane striking Florida, it'll be the 10 year mark going into next season. Which begs the question, for how long do we have to continue to be penalized with higher insurance premiums?

Maybe the last 200 years have been extremely active as compared to the past 10,000 years?

lol, as if me mentioning that it's been a slow hurricane season on CD will somehow cause mother-nature to brew up a storm, especially for florida.

I just saw the tropical update on TV and there is a wave moving off the coast of Africa that was given a 70% chance of developing, BUT...... the way the winds are--- they said there is a practically a zero chance of it making it to FL. So, more good news people.

Weather is cyclic, so you may have a light hurricane season for a couple of years then have a heavy hurricane season for a few years, obviously Florida is in a low cycle for hurricanes.
