Hurricane Central '07

[G2003]

4??? Wow thats like nothing! Have any of them hit land?

[lfmusiclover]

No, I don't believe so.

The only landfalling tropical system that I know of anywhere in the world so far this year was that major typhoon they had last month in the eastern Pacific.

[Localonthe8s]

No hurricanes and no landfalling tropical storms. Andrea and Barry were tropical depressions.

[Stephen]

I believe there have now been 4.

Actually, it's 3. The current Tropical Depression, while it is a tropical system, has not yet been named. Once the depression turns into a TS, then it'll be 4.
