Here is The Chance of A Major Hurricane Hitting The U.S. Coast this Year

NASA image. Will we see a major hurricane on the U.S. coastline this year?
This is really a great video from NASA, but what I like the most about it is how they explain a subtle fact of statistics that almost everyone, especially gamblers, basketball, and baseball players get wrong.
With an El Nino brewing, we may see a quiet Atlantic tropical cyclone season. Like 1992, when we only had one storm make landfall on the coast of North America. Hurricane Andrew, a Category 5 severe hurricane,that wiped out a chunk of South Florida.
