Hurricane activity very low
 

Global hurricane activity has not been this quiet this time of season since 1966 ... https://twitter.com/philklotzbach/st...15179826630659

Funny how the global alarmists are quiet on this point. I thought the earth was going to end if we didn't pay a new carbon tax

7-10 forecasts are iffy too often.

Long range like forecast number of and severity of hurricanes????? Akin to throwing darts at dart board (in my opinion).

I can't watch the weather channel anymore, it seems like they live for disaster.

Until it's 2:30a.m. and you wake up and your roof is gone.
What's the old boy scout saying: "Be Prepared"

So, you’ve lived in Oklahoma? :)

Of course.
 

Ever notice how people slow down to get a good look at a traffic accident? Same thing. People are entertained by, predominantly, sex and violence. Not many things more violent than a tornado or a hurricane. And the on site actors/reporters are exciting to watch. "Stay tuned to see if Lindsey or Scott will have a house drop on them right after a word from our sponsors".

This was our first full hurricane season in TV. Welsh news, Teco, Seco and everybody else warned us that it was going to be an unusually active season, more than normal hurricanes forecasted. We got everything ready, generator, tent for generator, outside extension cord, inside extension cords. Food supply and water supply for two weeks, and whatever else was suggested. Then we waited, and waited and waited. Finally hubby poured out the fuel for the generator and packed everything away, till next year when they’ll scare us again. We ate the food, drank the water and we still have lots of paper products left.

Oh well, I prefer it this way. Like insurance, somethings it’s better not to have to use.

The media likes to warn of more hurricanes and high temperatures. As it turns out, July was not the hottest ever (according to official NOAA temperature data) even though the Weather Channel still posts a video saying so.

Seriously? There is only 1 month to be concerned with, September. That is peak. All the other months are a nothing. In addition, you are center state. This location in particular is pretty much hurricane-less. It's a tropical storm at best when it get's near this area. In addition the 2 left quadrants are practically harmless.

We've gone through many years (since 2006) Orlando, Space Center, etc without even boarding up. Never lost anything. No generator, no ransacking stores, etc. Yes we went through Irma, wasn't a big deal.

Tornados, well that's another story LOL. That you can't be prepared for, but TV isn't a bad location better than Clermont and a few other 'choice' areas. Pay attention to the tracks there is a pattern across Florida. You'll figure it out just like we did.

Probably not too many hurricanes have gone through Oklahoma..
:ohdear::ohdear:

Cept maybe forest fires and earthquakes...
:ohdear::faint::pray:

Weather/hurricane forecasting is an estimate/bet history repeats itself.

Where we going with this? Hurricane season for us is effectively over. Globally, really?

I sure hope we see less high wind events. I was in the attic above my garage today and it was amazing to see how many nails meant to hit the truss/rafters missed their mark.
