User blog comment:CobraStrike/Cobra Strike's Official Mid-Season Predictions for the 2011 Atlantic and Pacifc Hurricane Seasons (August 15)/@comment-2239664-20110816174528

I don't personally want to forecast landfalls or destruction because I think we all thought last year was a disaster waiting to happen for the U.S. and we got off rather well despite the number of named storms and hurricanes. I think the final toll will be 16-7-4-1 or something like that. I'm a little discouraged to give us a ton of hurricanes since we have had none out of our first 6(7 if you count Gert) named storms. So it might be generous to even say 7 hurricanes, perhaps we might have only 6 or 5 if we keep on getting short-lived TS's. We could make seasonal landfall predictions or damages, but they would probrably be WAY off by the end of the season, so I see it as rather pointless, except in the betting pools lol.
