Get Ready For Lots Of Hurricane Action

Thanks to a variety of factors, including the gigantic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, 2010 is poised to be a big year for Atlantic hurricanes. One member of the Colorado State University hurricane forecast team, which is putting out its full forecast next week, said that 2010 could shape up to be a “hell of a year,” and that the forthcoming Atlantic hurricane season could be as active as 2005 — the year of Katrina, Rita, and enough nameable storms that the alphabet was exhausted and we had a Tropical Storm Zeta. Which would seem to indicate that the “hell” in that statement is not being used in an approving sense!
