Ida lost steam in the Gulf and dropped to 45mph. Who woulda thunk it? The worst damage to come out of this storm was Stephanie Abrams pulling a jaw muscle from yawning so much.

Just to be sure, I looked through the Weather Underground archives and did find one reference to Claudette making landfall at 49mph. And somebody recorded a 50mph gust for Ida this morning. So if we take those two numbers, you win!

Then again, this thing could pass over Florida, regroup in the Atlantic and hit Charleston with Cat 5 winds! OK, that ain't gonna happen. This storm is barely puffing along now at 70mph, so it's no given that it will beat out Mal's formidable 50-mph killer Claudette.

Everybody out of their bunkers.

What's that? You didn't hear about the two tropical storms we had this week?

Sad to say, Grace and Henri have passed with nary a whimper. Grace got lost somewhere off the coast of Europe, and Henri got chewed up by wind shear this very morning (stupid wind shear). This knocks blockhose, CadyH, BNY, plato and me out of the contest.

Chelle is now out of the running, as Hurricane Fred decided to take the scenic tour of the middle Atlantic and somehow forgot to threaten anything more than a couple flocks of seagulls. So that's two major hurricanes, Bill and Fred, neither of which has inflicted any major damage.

Come on, Henri, don't let me down!

There's a lot of time til end of Hurricane Season in November though, so I expect Mal's late entry won't stand. It would be ironic if nicely named "Grace" turns out to be the big one of the year.

Five storms so far. Just two have made landfall, and that's only if you think hitting Newfoundland counts. Those poor, crusty Canooks. I heard the wind actually knocked over somebody's beer. How awful.
