Hurricane Season of 40 Years Ago v. Today’s

(click to make larger)

The Hurricane Forecasts for this year are being reduced.  Now we can expect about 10 named storms (I hope we get to G this year as we could all use a year of Grace) and 4 hurricanes.

In 1969 we had no hurricanes as of this date.  However, that situation changed in early August.  By mid August we had Hurricane Camille (August 17).
