Randy.... We opened Pandora's Box! The initial predictions were released yesterday. Doesn't look good for Florida but it might give the west Gulf a break....

No problem folks. Whenever I run across something that I think I may want or need to refer to at a later day I save. The attached PDF File apparently was the original list.
