Bastardi called it? Wow. Just wow. AccuWeather was consistently behind the NHC in moving their forecast to New Orleans -- then had the gall of saying that they called it before the NHC!

If those energy companies are using AccuWx to base their decisions for the coming months, they're setting themselves up for disappointment. I'm not saying we won't see a lot of storms making landfall this year; we very well might. There's just little to no skill in such forecasts now other than saying "well, it kinda happened in 2004 and 2005, so I guess it'll happen in 2006."

So yeah, the humor forum is definitely a good spot for this!
