Not just the weather service. Paul Cook said it would be the worst

Did one ever even touch land? ;-)
Sounds like a pretty bad year for hurricanes, to me -- I mean, if they couldn't even get a shot-on-goal...!

Misc "good predictin', Paul!"
As much fun as it can be to poke Paul with a pointy stick remember that hurricane tracks are about as predictable as a roulette ball.
Last year we lucked out with La Nina redirecting storm paths and weakening those that did kick up, this year El Nino may kick in and make things kinda nasty.

And if they are so unpredictable, perhaps one should not be so loud in

Agreed.
Unfortunately the public memory is short term and if you don't beat them over the head with it they sit on their collective ass doing nothing until it's too late (New Orleans comes to mind)and then bitch about the lack of federal help after the fact.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
