This El Nino has some potential to be of benefit, at least. I remember reading that they've begun to think that a weak El Nino may spur totally different weather patterns than a strong one. They may be closer to being the opposite of each other than similar as far as weather patterns. Now with a strong El Nino, albeit later this year, we may see more tropical weather patterns bringing rain to the US and to the south. That could spur more hurricanes but would also end the droughts.
As one meteorologist put it, hurricanes are necessary in that they are aquifer replenishers for entire regions.
I like the idea of keeping weak Tropical systems in this thread and making a new thread for the bigger ones. Sometimes tough to know which will actually strengthen though.
