The 2013 Tropical Storm Season does not officially end until November 30, however this season has been exceptionally quiet in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. There are no indications of any additional Tropical origin storms forming any longer this season. We will continue to monitor things for the next 2-1/2 weeks and report if necessary, but we are not anticipating significant changes.
As we all know, the Pacific origin storm season has been devastating, with storm after storm battering southeast Asia. These storms have been huge in scope and countless deaths have been reported over the past 3 months especially. Our thoughts and prayers are with those victims.
Thank you for following our unofficial storm postings and we will be back with 2014 pre season preparedness information in May 2014.

The National Hurricane Center has named a sub tropical storm in the mid Atlantic “Melissa” – Since this storm is late in the season, weak and no threat to land, we will not be tracking this storm.
