In 1992, everything was quiet until the the middle of August, the first named storm hit Homestead, Fl. It roared across the Gulf, went up through Mississippi, into Tennessee, where I was at the time. My family was in Pensacola. It's name..."Andrew." It only takes one storm to be a disaster. Don’t listen to forecasts and prognostications.

The forecasts: 2014 -- 50% chance of BELOW normal season, only 10% of above normal 2005 (Dennis) -- 70% chance of ABOVE normal, only 10% of below normal 2004 (Ivan) -- 50% chance of ABOVE normal, only 10% of below normal Of course it's the ONE hurricane that hits our area that really matters, not how many there are total. :) >>>Sounds like the same prediction we got when we were slammed by Ivan, Dennis, etc.

Your comment sparked my curiosity, so I did a little quick research, and this year’s forecast is the exact opposite of 2004 and 2005.

The forecasts:

2014 — 50% chance of BELOW normal season, only 10% of above normal
2005 (Dennis) — 70% chance of ABOVE normal, only 10% of below normal
2004 (Ivan) — 50% chance of ABOVE normal, only 10% of below normal

Of course it’s the ONE hurricane that hits our area that really matters, not how many there are total. :)
