The 2007 Atlantic Hurricane prediction…

SUMMARY
NOAA’s 2007 Atlantic hurricane season outlook indicates a very high 75% chance of an above-normal hurricane season, a 20% chance of a near-normal season, and only a 5% chance of a below-normal season. This outlook is produced by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center (CPC), National Hurricane Center (NHC), Hurricane Research Division (HRD), and Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC). See NOAA definitions of above-, near-, and below-normal seasons.
The outlook calls for a very high likelihood of an above-normal hurricane season, with 13-17 named storms, 7-10 hurricanes, and 3-5 major hurricanes. The likely range of the ACE index is 125% to 210% of the median. This prediction signifies an expected sharp increase in activity from the near-normal season observed in 2006.
The prediction for an above-normal 2007 hurricane season reflects the expected combination of two main climate factors: 1) the continuation of conditions that have been conducive to above-normal Atlantic hurricane seasons since 1995, and 2) the strong likelihood of either ENSO-neutral or La Niña conditions in the tropical Pacific Ocean.
An updated Atlantic hurricane outlook will be issued in early August, which begins the peak (August-October) of the hurricane season.

End of the official message.

So it’s now almost August and I haven’t heard of a single “named” Hurricane yet, and only two little tropical storms. So where are all these terrible storms? Why can’t NOAA get it right? They blew it last year too (go look). Um, maybe…it’s…because…YOU CAN”T PREDICT THE F-ing WEATHER?? No better than you can look out the window and see what fer.

We pump tons of dollars into these institutions for nothing, most of the year. They should shut down in October and open up again in June each year. The rest of the year is a waste, much like their “predictions”. I am so sick of predictions from all parts of the government. It’s like we are Gypsies. And if one of these A-Holes gets something right (rare) they jump up and down saying “Look at me, I guessed right”!! Ok dude, you are a psychic, …you ass. Go apply for Mrs. Cleo’s job. Get out of my government.

I really feel like I could puke right now.
