The storms that did form last year seemed to do so much further south and closer to the equator.  Some islands that never see hurricanes were brushed by a couple of the storms as they continued a westward trek toward the Yucatan peninsula.  What created that situation and is it present again this year?

Let me guess, they go to the Bahamas to take reading’s of the water temp and guesstimate on how many hurricane’s will enter the Atlantic this season.  After how many pina colada’s and margaritas do they make these statements?

Ok pick a number any number
