21 storms and 11 hurricanes forecast
Looks like the Eastern seaboard is favourite to get them.

Re: 21 storms and 11 hurricanes forecast
They've been predicting huge numbers of storms to hit for YEARS now. 5 or more to hit every year since I've been here. The first few years we had maybe a couple hit the Eastern seaboard, the next few years I can't recall many, and then of course last year we had a few. But they always predict these amounts every year....

Re: 21 storms and 11 hurricanes forecast
That meteorologist, Joe Bastardi (is this a made up name?) thinks the Carolinas will be hit hard. However, I don't think I'll be budging.
If a hurricane comes along, I'll add it to my "American experience" along with icestorm and no electricty for over a week.
Maybe should get my skates on a get myself a gas cooker pronto...
