It's certainally contributed to our extreme drought situation.
Summers here are frequently dry, but we usually can count
on the fall hurricane season to bring us rain.  So far not this
year.
 
I was interested in a piece I saw somewhere - can't remember
where I saw it - that quoted someone from the National Hurricane
whatever as saying that this season had been, as predicted, an
unusually strong hurricane season.  There had been more named
storms than usual for this time of the year.  This statement was
made about the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and at that point
the alphabetical list was up to about Felix or some such - several
fewer than the anniversary level
 
Having grown up in the Florida panhandle where hurricanes were
a seasonal event, I always check the National Hurricane website
from midsummer on.  In my humble opinion, this season has been
a total bust.  We did get some rain from the remains of Nicole, but
that was just a tropical storm - never reached hurricane level.

I don't know if any of you have been paying attention to the tropical  
storms this year--only slightly more interesting than watching paint  
dry, perhaps--but they all seem to be most peculiarly avoiding the  
US&A. We have had no direct hits that I can remember. And the latest,  
Otto, which is forming somewhere around the Bahamas, shows every  
intention of making a beeline to the Azores.

I don't think this is a very good sign, but maybe I'm borrowing trouble.
