Update: Excitement is running rampant at the Gore compound. We may be getting close to our first storm of the season. According to the National Hurricane Center, that orange #1 off the coast of Africa has a 30-50% chance of becoming a tropical storm during the next 48 hours. Would someone please inform Al Gore.
The suicide alert at Al Gore’s house has gone to Level Red. While the Goracle insisted that global warming would bring us more and more destructive hurricanes, the reality has been considerably different.
We’ve now completed the first ten weeks of 2009’s hurricane season and we’ve not yet had a hurricane. Nor a tropical storm. Nor a tropical depression.
By reaching August 10 with no storms, 2009 is moving into record territory. It now qualifies as the quietest hurricane season in 32 years and the fourth quietest in the last 50 years.
1977 – First storm of the season was Hurricane Anita on August 29
1967 – First storm of the season was Hurricane Arlene on August 28
1962 – First storm of the season was Hurricane Alma on August 26
That means that if there are no storms in the next 19 days, 2009 will set the record for the latest start to hurricane season.
Of course, just to cover our butts, we must admit that a quiet beginning to a hurricane season doesn’t assure that the rest of the season will be equally quiet.
But we hope it is for the sake of the folks who live in the paths of the storms. And to the opportunity to laugh at the creative excuses that are sure to emanate from Al Gore and his global warming acolytes.

Actually, there was already a tropical depression in May. Get your facts straight! Oh who am I kidding, its ihatethemedia.com, there are no facts there…
We stand corrected. Looks like there was a brief, very weak tropical depression in May. We must have blinked and missed it. And look at that – a second one just formed way over there off the coast of Africa.
Happy now? We hope so. But can we get your agreement that hurricane season hasn’t been this quiet this late in the year since 1977?
I checked up on that it it was so weak it read as if NASA was almost apologizing about it.
But I thought Jacko was referring to the very big and continuing Tropical Depression in Cuba. It’s enough to make Michael Moore sick.
