1.  According to climatologist Dr. John Christy of the University of Alabama Huntsville: "We've looked at hurricanes starting in the 1850s. ... if you look at the last seven years, there has not been single major hurricane hit the United States. This is the longest period of such a dearth of hurricanes in that entire record."
What obligation do the networks (ABC, NBC, CBS) have to follow-up on their earlier news reports predicting a bad hurricane season with the news that this was instead a very quiet year?
