The August update to Atlantic hurricane season outlook called for 18 to 21, so I would hope it doesn't go any higher than that, but it's a possibility.

It's got similar characteristics, except it's just a little lower in latitude. The issue is what happens when it gets out over the very warm waters of the central Gulf.

If we get up into that league, we'll have issues larger than naming these storms. The new phrase will be hurricane fatigue. Let's coin that right now.

This current episode started in 1995, when we had 11 hurricanes. Normal is six. This year we expect nine to 11.

I had a woman call me this morning in tears because her daughter was named Katrina, ... and she was traumatized practically to the point where she wouldn't go out of the house.

But I think we've had enough excitement for one year.
