This Hurricane Season
As Badtux noted in comments, Louisiana has taken a beating this year. So far (there’s more than a month to go) Louisiana has had 5 named storms come ashore, 3 hurricanes and 2 tropical storms, beating the old record of 4 storms in 2002.
So far, 11 named storms have come ashore in the US breaking the 1916 record of 9, with 6 of those named storms being hurricanes which ties this year with 1985 & 1886.
If there is another named storm before the end on the season on November 30, it will tie with 2005 for the most storms in a season – 28.
This year just seems to roll up every bit of bad news available in every category.

Oh, gracious! I’m afraid a lot of people living close to water will need to start looking for shelter farther away. Flooding seems to happen more often, storms, too. I don’t understand how so many can deny climate change , and not want to do something to lessen it.
The next storm is in the Caribbean and the first advisory will be 4PM CDT today. 2020 really sucks.
we should bottle this hurricane water and sell it somewhere… out west maybe….
