Nostradaveous 2012 Hurricane Predictions

Florida and Gulf coast, your turns again this year.

Remember 4 hurricanes in a row like Charley?

Weather pattern setting up for that again.

2005 was a long time ago already.

I was almost killed in Katrina hence no longer on the Gulf Coast.

That was enough.

------------------------------------------
Some may not know what happened then so I'll post it here.

I was working in New Orleans. Waited too long Sunday afternoon to evacuate to Baton Rouge.

Winds were already past 75 miles per hour. Car was tossed into water filled ditch on the side of the road like a Tonka toy flipping at least 6 times.

There was a police car and a Fire truck that saw it happen as well as a car with two ladies in it.

They came to the scene right away and they said they were sure that no one could have survived.

The ladies whisked me away to Baton Rouge. We all got out of there as the storm came in. Weather in the picture doesn't look bad but if you look closely you can see the trees bending in the wind in the back.

In my entire life I've never heard any weather service predict a lower than average number of hurricanes for the Gulf. They have a single doom and gloom press release and sent it out every year.

I'm still on the MS coast and it certainly has the feel of a bad season. It was oppressively hot a few weeks ago, though it's a bit more normal now. Weather Underground is saying that the sea-surface temperatures of the Gulf of Mexico are unusually high, which is helping to fuel those storms in the mid-west.

All I can say is that I'm glad I'm in flood zone X (despite being this close to the water) and that I have insurance. Hopefully everyone is going to stock up on supplies and evacuate early.

Hopefully it turns out like your $5/gallon gas prediction a few years ago.

There is a reason for that separate from the Atlantic coast.

It's called Florida.

Imagine if that giant Peninsula wasn't there.

Exactly as we head to higher prices now.

$12 maybe $20 anyone?
