Chris Landsea La Quotations

Everyone wants to know what's going to happen this coming season, given the horrible impacts of the last two years.

The global warming impacts are so tiny today that they can't be measured although they might be measured in 100 years. Compared to the natural swings of hurricane activity and compared to the huge population increase and infrastructure build-up along the coast, any global warming effects are likely to be so tiny that they're lost in the noise.

The La Nina effect tends to change in the late spring. That makes it tough to make an accurate assessment about what influence it will be having in the peak of hurricane season in August and September.

In general, Florida gets hit a lot. But what we've seen the last two years should not continue.

With La Nina, you can expect not only more storms than average, but stronger storms, as well.

We can explain it after the fact, but we can't forecast that very well, where the storms are going to form.
