There were extremely few tornadoes and hurricanes in the US. We are soon headed into our eighth year without a major hurricane, the longest such period since the Civil War.
This past summer was also the quietest on record for tornadoes.
I drove across Colorado twice, on two different roads this weekend – and did not see any fire damage. Driving up I-25 past Colorado Springs I strained to see the Waldo Canyon Fire, and couldn’t find it. I couldn’t see any fire damage near the Air Force Academy, and there have been very few fires here in Colorado over the last three months.
Also October has gotten off to a cold start over much of the US, up to 10 degrees below normal for the first 8 days.
Cold sucks.
But just wait ’till all that pent up energy lets go all at once…
you’ll see…. yeah, then you’ll see….
and I already told you so…

Steve you just don’t get it. Extreme weather events can also mean when nothing happens for an extremely long period of time.

The media are hyping up with a quarter of it still left to go:
