So it's becoming more and more clear that meteorologists have absolutely no idea how to predict hurricanes...how intense...how many, etc. Just found a news story that takes their clueless..ness to another level. Apparently African wind storms have an effect on the number of hurricanes that pop up in the atlantic. Poor CNN, their ratings must be nose diving with the lack of destruction this year.
