Aren't we about due for another killer hurricane?

Question

Isn't it about due this year? Where will one strike next?

Answer 1

Well yes but you can thank North Africa for stopping it happening.  There have been a lot of calimas this year where sand gets swept up from the Sahara into the atmosphere over the Atlantic.  This prevents the sea from warming enough to turn any cyclone into a hurricane!!!

Answer 2

I live in Ohio, so we don't really get hurricanes that much (though we DO usually have thunderstorms a couple days after a big hurricane)

Answer 3

According to what criteria? Killer status depends on storm strength and the area it hits. A big factor is whether people listen or ignore the warnings. Like the people of New Orleans. Nature will always provide storms and natural disasters. Just as it always has. But now we have government bumbling to make the situation even worse. And a huge number of people who are totally dependent on government to make all decisions for them.

Answer 4

My crystal ball said “not to worry”.

Answer 5

while gazing into my crystal ball i instinctively noticed that there is a killer hurricane that will strike this year in late august- early september.

Answer 6

I hope so. I want to see one take out New York or New Orleans again. That would be great!

Answer 7

I take your point, it has been unusually quiet since Katrina.

Answer 8

one was enough for me, I have nothing left to lose.

Answer 9

What town do you live in?? I'll order 1 up and send it your way ASAP!!!

Answer 10

Why would you want one? The people in Louisiana got killed and their homes got ruined because of a hurricane.

Answer 11

Hopefully- not. But the Season is Young & anything can happen... The East Coast hasn't had a bad one in awhile...-so It's Due... :(
