2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season Post-Mortem

The 2014 season ended last week and it was even quieter than the 2013 season, with the “fewest tropical cyclones and fewest named storms since 1997” (see Weather.Com).And, now for nine years running, no Category 3 storm or greater making landfall on the U.S., despite the Washington Post's breathless anticipation that 2014 might be the year that this "record streak" would be broken! (Sorry, WaPo, but thanks for the nice graphs!)

Anyway, after the jump is my updated graph of the 2014 Colorado State University predictions and what actually happened.
