Great job! Wish you might have discussed what make a "fish" storm & why or why not there may be less of them this season.

I always wondered why weather starts forming near Africa. Water temperatures? Land temperatures?

Thanks for doing this show! My prior experience is two typhoons and a 212+ knot super typhoon on Okinawa, so I am wondering why Florida roads and architecture are so substandard!

You should have commented on the Cyclonic Vorticity forming June 10 off Cuba/Yucatan. It's not guaranteed to be a hurricane but it's in the cards!

The fear mongering this season is hilarious.
