I just finished a phone conversation with my 86 year old father who lives down in Hollywood, near Miami. He has been closely following this hurricane season, which started out with a bang but seems to be drastically slowing down...at least on the Atlantic side. To be sure, they seem to be ticking off at a fast rate (what letter is it now, "N" or "O"). But almost all of the latest ones are purely Atlantic Ocean storms, hardly of any interest to us landlubbers in Florida. This is in spite of the fact that right now is usually considered to be the most intense time of the season.
Still, all it takes is for one strong storm to hit us and mess things up. I don't think we're going to be presented with a hurricane threat, though, until it is later on, say in October, when the tropical storm pattern changes to storms developing in the western Caribbean and moving north into the Gulf of Mexico...
