[sounding]

The Dec 3 issue had a Hurricane article. (1). It said this year was another record-breaking season -- but forgot to mention we had 21 storms this year and 30 storms last year. (2). It said this year's Atlantic storms had higher than average ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy) -- but forgot to mention that the Global storm ACE average was way below average. (3). The article said storm surges will be higher as seas rise -- but failed to mention that seas are only rising about 1.5 millimeters a year. (4). The article used variations of the phrase "rapid intensification" 12 times -- where they forgot to mention that many storms also rapidly weakened when they hit dry air and/or land -- plus both Surface and Satellite data measured noticeably cooler temperatures as compared to last year.
