years yourself by going to www.nhc.noaa.gov and clicking on Seasons Archive in the left hand column. Then scroll down to Past Tracks of Tropical Cyclones. There were some notable landfalls on the Gulf Coast and the East Coast to our north, but nothing real close to us. We were affected a few times by heavy rain from tropical storms coming out of the Gulf or up through Florida. I’ll mention one more thing; the last time we entered the final ten years of the warm AMO in the 1950s, there was an uptick in the number of systems that made landfall on the East Coast, including the Northeast. There weren’t necessarily a lot of storms overall, but there was an increase in destruction up and down the East Coast, including Florida. That’ll be something to keep an eye on for this year and the next several years. The most likely time for East Coast landfalls is from late August through early October. We’ll be watching. [Hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th.]
