A number of the named storms during the 2007 season were not warm core, and were birthed in mid latitudes via polar jet eddies. The NHC went through all sorts of contortions to name mid latitude cyclones, cut off lows, occluded fronts and merged lows formed by inside slider type systems crashing into tropical waves. What a scam. If this had happened in NATL (especially down in the Gulf) during the “season” it would have been named and claimed.

Come one fellas. You're making it look like we are living in a disaster area. I can't be the only Californian here who, has power, running water, full use of utilities, mail service, newspaper on the doorstep, internet, telephone, telegraph, excetera, excetera, excetera, ... If you don't comment then the CNN "any weather is proof of AGW" mongering goons win. No comments?

Hopkins, a TV meteorologist, ran up a terrible forecasting record. He was so bad that a newspaper tallied his miscues. In a single year, he was wrong 300 times. That kind of notoriety got him fired. He moved across country and applied for a similar job. In the interview, he was asked the question he dreaded: "Why did you leave your last job?" Hopkins replied, "The climate didn't agree with me." (g) Thanks for all your good work! Since no one predicted the true intensity of this storm…perhaps a little weatherman humour might be appreciated!
