“An AP article posted today indicates that the worst of the weather for the Gulf region may not have yet arrived”:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050903/ap_on_re_us/katrina_more_storms. Hurricane season lasts until the end of November, and its peak is in September. Given the limitless energy available in the warm, tropical Atlantic, one thing is clear: more storms are not only likely, but highly probable. Meteorologists at Colorado State University predict “six more hurricanes by the time the hurricane season ends on Nov. 30, three of them Category 3 or above. On average, about one major hurricane in three makes landfall in the United States.”
