If I've been paying attention lately (which is an "If" of indescribable proportion), doesn't the position of the moon vis-a-vis the earth have a lot to do with the current surge of hurricane activity? If memory serves (another big one), the moon is actually significantly closer to the earth, causing an increase in tidal activity, and a change in weather patterns that is spawning more and more hurricanes. I remember hearing that we can expect up to 6 or 7 hurricanes of significant force every year for the next couple of decades. Scary prospect, no...?
