Meteoroligists and other scientists have predicted 11 more hurricane seasons like the last. So why isn't everyone leaving?

Because it's their home. Why don't people abandon the Middle East? Why don't people leave San Francisco after all all of California will float off one day. Why don't people leave Chicago. God they have heat waves there all the time. While we are at it, why don't we all move to Kansas where it's safe. OH yeah  that's right  tornadoes. Hurricanes are bad but there are many other places with natural disasters. Just because you're home gets hit by a really bad, house falling down snow storm every once in awhile doesn't mean you are going to leave it. It' snot like New Orleans gets wiped out every year or something and every year the coast gets hit. It doesn't mean that every last inch of it gets destroyed. My parents house on the Gulf Coast is fine. So are all my other friends and families homes. If they have a perfectly good home there   why the .... would they leave.

The odd winter weather actually correlates to the unusually busy hurricane season we had this year. Traditionally, years that have produced great numbers of hurricanes tend to have winters with great swings in weather, often offering greater numbers of above average temperature days. Don't worry though, winter's not over yet and the cold weather will likely be here with a vengence before its over.

I honestly believe that hurricane season is only a month long. SEPTEMBER. Hurricanes hit landfall most often in September. It won't be worse this year. There will be other storms that will take place during that time frame.

Africa do not experience hurricanes they only occur in tropical regions, anyway animals usually have a 6 th sense  that warns them when a natural diaster will occur and so they evacuate to safer areas before the actual diaster.

I don't think there's any real compelling evidence to suggest what kind of tornado season this'll be.  The only real long-term predictor is El Nino... I believe that a La Nina pattern actually trends towards slightly more tornadoes, and that we are in a slight La Nina, but the difference is not very large.  However, right now we are locked into a trough in the western US, ridge in the eastern US pattern which suggests that at least for the next week, it should be quite active.  The number of tornadoes in Oklahoma all depends on the exact location and setup of storms, things we really have no handle over beyond at most about a week, and climatologically I don't believe there are big predictors.  So your guess is as good as mine or anyone else's at this point.  Winter does not say much about spring conditions usually.  One final note: http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/predictions/long_range/lead01/off01_prcp.gif shows that climatologically it's more likely to be drier the next three months than usual in Oklahoma, so you might conclude that would lead to less tornadoes (though that's not always true!).

Hey some people don't need a hurricane to fall on them to know that that city is just to low. Something needs to be seriously done to those sea walls.

Actually we are going for Global Warming, where all teh Ice is going to melt and probably flood alot of places, the atmosphere is gettinng thinner and more ultra violates are entering earth. P.S. did you see any Acorns? Keep looking for it...

I have heard that before too, but as a meteorologist...I can say I have never found any scientific basis for that theory.\n\nHowever, I was working for the National Weather Service about 20 years ago when I got struck.  After I returned to work, all the staff gave me a hard time about that fact that now that I had been struck once, I was more likely to be struck again.\n\nAfter my stint with NWS, I was a storm chaser for 10 years, and in those 10 years I never even came close.  In fact, in the last 20 years I have come close only once...and that was because I was stupid enough to be standing next to an outside light fixture as a thunderstorm was moving through.

Wow, isn't that kind of mean of him?  Why would he steer hurricanes anywhere but out to sea where they can't bother anyone?  That seems pretty jerky to me...

Looking more and more likely with MS leaving

Because the producer/writer changed for this season, they didnt know if the public would still like it. They said that If they got a good reaction they might carry it on to a season eight, but judging from the bad reviews of season 7 im guessing this is the last one.

You can't control mother nature.\n\nIf it were possible, Katrina would not have existed

My thoughts:  The Lord is giving this earth one last chance to rectify its wrongs...this last "round" of repentance may be supported by supernatural events which put the fear of God in people who repent.  We have already had the sea and the waves roaring with the tsunami and the huge hurricanes...it is possible that the strange weather patterns we see with tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis are not just due to the "ozone" but due to God's finger moving the earth out of its natural rotation to shake the earth.\n\nThe Lord's return is imminent...I am 55 years old. I was planning to retire at age 60. When I asked him about my retirement, he told me "You will not be here...." I will be 56 this year. That gives me less than 4 years left on this earth...my sense is that more terrorism will occur,and natural disasters will increase. People will be crying out to God for the last time before his return.  Some people will never turn to him and they will be lost....so when the diasters occur, realize that the Lord has picked those people in those areas for repentance, and to go in and minister/witness his love and mercy to them and pray for their salvation.\n\n\nJoe 2:10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: \n\nAmo 8:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: \n\nLuk 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; \n\nMat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Hurricanes are considered an act of God(or nature).The way our government is heading they could be the act of Satan!

I'm in Arizona. The reason we are having so many fires is because we are in a major drought. The second reason is that many environmentalists fought the thinning of the forest that they wanted to do to avoid a disasterous fire. Since they didn't do that, nature is doing it for them.\n\nThey do say that Global Warming may have an effect on the hurricanes though.

over the ocean it is hard to find out how many waterspouts (the correct term of tornadoes over water) form.  Tornadoes in the US turn out to be about 300, hurricanes/ tropical storms worldwide is about 100,  thunderstorms happen each day all over the world so it is hard to keep count.  Even us meteorologist have a hard time trying to predict hot spots for hurricane formation, it was a shock that Hurricane ivan came 8o lat, from the equator, becuase they need what is called the corriolis force to exist, near the equator the force is =0 so even we have a hard time keeping count, as well as predicting them.

Last summer at the tv station I interned with, one of the meteorologists went in a wind tunnel to show what wind speeds in a hurricane are like.  I just found the video on their website - \nat 95 mph: "I don't know how any human being could remain on their feet if they tried to move at all."\n108 was all he could make it up to because it was too hard to breathe.
