I would not tie global warming into this issue.................numerous
severe hurricanes were predicted last year by the global warming
alarmists,
riding the coat tails of the 2005 season, yet their predictions fell
flat.

Hurricane prediction is far from being an exact science. The
predictions were not all that bad... 9 tropical storms, 5 hurricanes,
and 2 major hurricanes aren't the big numbers that they predicted, but
then..... they didn't predict the El Niño event nor the large dust
storms from the African continent that shaded the sea surface and
reduced water temperatures.

Don't let that one year lull you into complacency.

So what are the alarmists predicting for this year?

Hurricanes coming off Lake Erie...

ROTFL!!!

However, that's not all that far fetched. The storm that sunk the
Edmond Fitzgerald had all the classic signs of a hurricane. And from
some of the reading I've been doing over the years about that storm
and others, it's happened once or twice - classic cyclonic storms with
super high winds in November.
