yay!!!

We have been extrodinarily fortunate so far this year.
Seven named storms so far.
And not one has reached hurricane status.
No major threads to land so far, either, that I recall.

... Of course, we still have three and a half months to go in hurricane season.

So, everyone - KNOCK ON WOOD!
