Hurricane Overdue, Experts Warn

"If meteorological history repeats, it should be a quiet hurricane season in Florida this year — even though conditions are ripe for more than a dozen named Atlantic basin storms.

That sums up Wednesday’s Colorado State University forecast that calls for 16 named tropical storms and hurricanes. The team says nine will become hurricanes, meaning sustained winds will reach 74 mph. Five are expected to be major hurricanes — Categories 3, 4 or 5 — with maximum wind speeds of 111 mph or greater."
