This year's NOAA crap

Read this over with your SAT brain active:  I used to track the NOAH lies yearly, but haven't bothered lately. The nations news services published hysterical news based upon:

In its 2013 Atlantic hurricane season outlook issued today, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center is forecasting an active or extremely active season this year.

For the six-month hurricane season, which begins June 1, NOAA’s Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook says there is a 70 percent likelihood of 13 to 20 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 7 to 11 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3 to 6 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher).

These ranges are well above the seasonal average of 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes.

“With the devastation of Sandy fresh in our minds, and another active season predicted, everyone at NOAA is committed to providing life-saving forecasts in the face of these storms and ensuring that Americans are prepared and ready ahead of time.” said Kathryn Sullivan, Ph.D., NOAA acting administrator...

First, you see the headline:  OMG:  Hurricane Season!!!!!    "Era of high activity for Atlantic hurricanes continues!"  OMG

NOAH says there will be 13 to 20 named storms.  OMG

Did you catch that - storms.  

We are now at the end of two months of hurricane season and there has been NO  hurricanes. There have been four "storms."  

So, be prepared when geologist, astronaut Sullivan warns you about life-threatening storms. How much do we spend having NOAA predict terrible hurricanes each year?  They must figure every then years or so, they will be right and  can claim more of the budget.
