Every year we get predictions for the new hurricane season. I for one pay them no mind. What we get is what we get. Hind sight is 20/20. It pays to be prepared as if 50 are going to make landfall and then not worry what the pros are thinking or why they are thinking it. They have a job to do that is not humanly possible to know how may hurricanes will form or where they will go.

I swear I read a prediction saying something to this effect: it's going to be an average season with 25% chance of being above average and 25% chance of being below average! WTH is THAT?! And somebody gets paid to come up with this nonsense?! I can do it, too!
Any job related to meteorology is a dream job! You screw up almost every single day, there's no responsibility whatsoever, and you make good money! Can't beat it!

I can't say I take much attention to it, to an extent they can predict things which will affect whether tropical waves off Africa will develop into anything big.
Obviously I don't worry about how they say 'there will be 5 hurricanes, 2 major' , but there is a heap of stuff I do listen to like 'wind shear predications, African dust predictions etc, all what can contribute to storms developing or not developing.
They really need to stop those pre season predictions, people that have been in a hurricane prone area know they never get it right. Maybe it helps those new to the area.
