Looks like maybe I should have spent my stimulus money on a generator.

A team of scientists  released their predictions for the season. We could be looking at between 15 and 24 named tropical storms this year, with a best estimate of 20 storms. That would put 2020 in record territory.

Some other predictions:

Colorado State University is projecting 16 named storms.

the Weather Channel is predicting 18.

AccuWeather projects 14 to 18.

University of Arizona is predicting 19 names storms.

Also, to keep things interesting, there's a hurricane Kyle this year. Just what we need, a hurricane hopped up on Monster Energy drink punching holes in the drywall.
