What was really freaky to me is how the storms developed and their strength. In watching storms in previous years, I had never seen them developed into majors so often, and so quickly. When a hurricane "bombs", it goes up 2-4 categories in less than 24 hours. I watched Hurricane Charley "bomb" from a weak cat 2 to a very strong cat 4 in less than 90 minutes (as it was taking dead bead on my house and was 3 hours away). Now that is one incredible increase in massive, massive power (possibly the most powerful thing in nature?). It seems like almost every storm bombs now, and I never, ever remember it happening before the '04 season.

Its not just hurricanes.....its tornadoes too. So far this year we've had nearly 800 tornadoes.....the average for this time of the year is around 400. In addition, there are more 4s and 5s than normal.
