Don't let this year's lack of hurricanes fool you. We're still all
gonna die.Nearly eight weeks have passed since the last tropical storm in the Atlantic-Caribbean region faded away, but banish any notion the 2007 hurricane season has been unusually slow and beware the coming months, experts say.
The peak of the six-month season is just around the corner and forecasters are still predicting a busy one.
Of course! What else are they gonna say? Hurricane forecasters don't get paid to
not forecast hurricanes.
"There's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary," Gerry Bell, a hurricane forecaster for the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said of the Atlantic season's first two months. "It's not slow. It's not fast."
Wait, why is this news? Oh yeah, because it scares old people.
