Talk:2017 Atlantic hurricane season (Steven's version)/@comment-31640413-20170819192941

I have to break my retirement to tell you guys how similar my predicted Franklin and Gert were to the real storms. It's quite surprising that I got very close with those predictions. I made this way back in 2014 and, nowadays, did not think any of this would be very realistic (like the large amount of July storms for example). The only things that were off are that both storms formed later IRL than in the forecast, Franklin never became a hurricane before the Yucatan landfall and Gert was stronger IRL and formed from a tropical wave as opposed to a separate disturbance.

Now before you get too excited, I am likely going to stay retired. This wiki is a thing of the past for me.
