That's one of those quotes that's gonna live in infamy....he got the stronger part right; just look at Sandy, for instance...the more part? Not so much the past few years...

Sandy?
Sandy was very strong in the hype department. Remember, we were there for it. FEMA had a contingent stationed at the hotel across from our house, the Weather Channel was in town, and a friend of mine took a picture with the CNN van.
As far as storm damage, that was more related to where it hit. A highly urbanized and sorely unprepared section of New Jersey. If it had struck, say, along Georgia or North Carolina, it would have been a different story, or, more likely, no 'story' at all.

I love it.
The day after the TV weather guy talks about how "Earl" was a major threat to the Gulf and the Southern US, Earl fizzles out.
Yes, it gave Belize a bath, but that's all it did.

(quoted material)
In less than two months (October 6, 2016) it will be 4,000 days since the last time a major hurricane made landfall in the U.S., which was Wilma on October 24, 2005.
Wilma was a record-setter, being the strongest Atlantic hurricane on record, with peak estimated sustained winds of 183 mph and lowest surface pressure of 882 mb. That surface pressure corresponds to a 13% removal of atmospheric mass in the core of the hurricane compared to normal sea level pressure.
But after the record-setting 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, with a whopping 27 named tropical storms, the bottom pretty much dropped out of hurricane activity since then.

If AlGore was wrong about "more and stronger"......
