a long way to go. getting off the ground is very important. it is very scary to get into orbit. once it is in space it has to undergo tests, deploy certain things like the antenna, solar ray and make it to l-2 la grange point. we re a little bit premature. we re not even close to science data yet. so one step at a time. and of course the launch of this was amazing to watch. i was in alabama for christmas. i actually got up at 6:20 to watch this. i know astronomies across the globe are watching this. it took a while to get here.
30, hurricane arlene. and historically, especially in florida, you will see that august and september are the most intense months for hurricanes. so, i think that we can t simply say that since we have seen an emerging stronger el nino we can conclude that we are safe. i would also point out that obviously from our standpoint, one severe storm is catastrophic and we are more concerned with nailing the forecast with respect to those individual storms than what the statistical average outlook might be. but i think, in sum, since you have tested my forecast capability, we will see on august 6 an outlook that accommodates the consequences of what is now clearly an el nino signal. that being the case, would it be reasonable to expect that the late hurricane season, of which you pointed out andrew was in late august, that because of el nino appearing, that it lessens the likelihood of the atlantic ferocious storms since it shears off the top of them? statistically, yes, sir. bu
