ATL hasn't done any better. We're right where we're supposed to be by the 1995-now median, if not a little above, and quite a ways above the 1900-now median. But 1995-now is a better indicator IMO. And Darren, in terms of what you said earlier, you almost flipped what you said about ATL and EPac. The ATL was the basin that had the shutdown from October on out. EPac actually had a pretty good October, with two hurricanes, one of which made landfall and the other lasted for 11 days, plus an unnamed depression. Sure we had Rina in the Caribbean in ATL but it lasted only 5 days, didn't even become a major hurricane, and barely made landfall as a tropical storm. So much for the talk of an active late season in ATL. The ACE wasn't too far above normal and the ACE/storm sucked. ATL and EPac set storm strength records in different directions this year.
