... a repeat performance. The hurricane season of 1999 started June 11th with Tropical Storm Arlene. Of course, with this vortex it would be the 'X' of Dennis's two paths that mark the place where season begins this year, but, this was also the year of Floyd. Dennis came up the coast of North America and then out to sea only to return. I don't think it can be underestimated. The thing about this year is that although there is some turbulence over west Africa the chance of that contributing, considering the Arctic vortex is present and reaching to the equator, is less. Buoy what a mess.
