As you can see, the weather here in north central Florida has been quite rainy lately. But still there is little sign of the supposedly intense, busy hurricane season we were going to be experiencing this year. I remember about this time in late August 25 years ago in 1985, when the "E" storm, Hurricane Elena, was briefly threatening to come ashore on the Gulf of Mexico side at Cedar Key and engulf Gainesville (only to abruptly change its direction at the last moment to the WNW). So far, we're only barely up to "E", with Earl, just a tropical storm, out in the eastern Atlantic, threatening no one. Will things pick up during the next few weeks, which is the busiest time in the hurricane season? Most likely, but it doesn't look like it will be an exceptionally busy time, either.
Not that I'm complaining, but this does make those meteorological prognosticators look like they don't know what they're doing!
