Your Stupid Headline Of The Day

Courtesy of Reuters:

Worst of Atlantic hurricane season still to come

No! Really?!?! Who would have known?????

Oh, that's right...Reuter's would know:

"There's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary," Gerry Bell, a hurricane forecaster for the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said of the Atlantic season's first two months. "It's not slow. It's not fast."

On average, June and July produce zero to two named storms or hurricanes. So far this year there have been two. Andrea formed in early May, Barry on June 1.

There's plenty of evidence the first two months are meaningless as an indicator for the rest of the season.

Maybe they will have a helpful headline later telling us what direction we can expect sunrise tomorrow.
