Climate Change? Nahhh ...

I'm sure you think that's pretty damning. It's not. Even if the rate of Cat 3 (or worse) hurricanes is at what we think to be its historical norm (0.8 per year), then the probability of 6 (or more) such events in 7 years is about 0.33. Here's the formula for calculating it ...

1 - Σ(λ^k*e^λ/k!)

with λ = 5.6 and k = 6

Still plenty of snow in the mountains here. But that's exactly the problem they're having in northern California.
