[ExI] Still No Hurricanes

[Gregory Jones]

If you go thru 66 years of satellite era data on wiki then do a simple mean
and standard deviation calculation this about a one in eighty year,
consistent with observation.  If we include less precise data from before
satellites there were two other years where there were no hurricanes by
October since 1900.

In those two years there were no known hurricanes in the Atlantic.  We
might see a third hurricanesless year but there is no good way to estimate
the odds with just that little bit of data.  I didn't make any bets on the
futures market.
