Ok. What gives? Here we are in mid-August and not a named storm to be found. Don't take me the wrong way here. I am NOT complaining. But just like in baseball when a pitcher is working himself into a no-hit/perfect game situation, nobody's supposed to mention anything about it.
Well I'm talking about it. Hurricane season 2009 is in full force and not a single named storm to date. However, at the moment, there is potential out there. And no. I'm not begging or even offering to the thought of a storm heading our way. I just want to acknowledge the matter at hand. And make sure we're all thankful that we've been blessed with a worry free season thusfar.
Perhaps if we collectively let out the breath we've been holding so far this season (and face east), we could create enough wind shear to knock any potential storms off course.
So cross your fingers. Say your prayers. Rub your rabbit's foot. Spray your monkey with water. Just do something to keep the shutout going.
