They cut the number of predicted storms in have with their latest press release, very cool. Obvious that my sacrifices to Aeolus worked

Awesome, that was my one fear for our trip to the keys.





What's their margin of error with storm season predictions? It may just be my perception, but it seems like they're never correct.

they are pretty good as far as numbers, it is just a guess, but keep in mind even the lowered prediction stil has 15 named storms and 5 hurricanes.



Its a bit of a risk in the keys, we got evacuated last sept on our trip, however we'e also evacuated to the keys so theres no way of knowing. Either way its an adventure. The event we are going to the keys for this november was postponed last year due to the canes, but i am hoping for a milder end to the season. When are you going again?
