From hurricane guru Jeff Masters: "It could be an exceptionally active June." He's promising to explain why he thinks so later today. If he's right, it's certainly not good news for New Orleans, still with crippled levees, and where I'm headed this Saturday...
I'll repeat my unpopular, much-villified position that we should abandon New Orleans. In addition to fierce storms and rising sea levels, we now know the place has been sinking about an inch a year recently.
