May 16, 2005 — NOAA hurricane forecasters are predicting another above-normal hurricane season on the heels of last year's destructive and historic hurricane season. "NOAA's prediction for the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season is for 12 to15 tropical storms, with seven to nine becoming hurricanes, of which three to five could become major hurricanes," said retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Ph.D., undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator at a news conference today in Bay St. Louis, Miss. "Forecaster confidence that this will be an active hurricane season is very high."

they cant even predict 24 hours properly, lets not devote any more thought or space to the idea that someone could prectict months in advance. unless they have 6 winning numbers. ( so we can buy more dive gear of course)

I will advise the Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher of your concerns. However, I am sure that it is the new loving, caring cave diver. :-D
