Hurricane Season 2005

It's not a good record to achieve, though, is it? And to have several broken in one year is also notable. Eg, record low pressure. IIRC, the citizens who experienced to two major hurricane strikes this year were fortunate that the hurricanes weakened due to ERCs just before landing.
 
Possibly years are the wrong unit of measurement?

What's the average number of hurricanes per century, measured over the last six thousand years?

Anyone?

What- You Americans don't have records going back more than three hundred years? That's remarkably slack of you. What were you doing before that? Oh. Really?

This is a planetary climate system we are discussing , yes? Takes time to tell.
Meanwhile, maybe not building on barrier islands, or within a klick of the coast would be the way to go?
 
Point isn't that global warming is responsible for the ENTIRE THING- point is, global warming is MAKING IT WORSE. Always was.

There were other stats there, 'costliest' is one that I think is very subjective. The others stand.

Well, if air conditioning hadn't been invented the cost of hurricanes would be a fraction of what it is now. Therefoe, I blame Willis Haviland Carrier.

And how many years of data do we have to compare? you seem to not understand the relevancy of what you post.

"Worst year ever" means little if "ever" is only 40 years or so.

thought the storm was looking better this morning. in the latest discussion they've taken the storm up a notch--because it's obviously stronger. we've seen intensification out of hurricanes over 'below threshold' waters before. under the right conditions they can just ignore the rules. this seems like an appropriate way to end the 2005 hurricane season.. another storm getting stronger than it's supposed to be.
now, if only the season would end...

Yes, it is an above average year, as predicted by the natural cycle, but it's also exceptional on top of that, which was not expected.

Is it just my imagination, or do storms, major earthquakes and other natural disasters disproportionately strike the most densely populated areas of the Earth?

According to right wing Christian nut case Pat Robertson God sends hurricanes and other general badness to areas densly populated by people who vote out Intelligent Design theory from their schools!

Good old Pat!
