Maybe the'll be enough this season to get to Kevin.

Of course you know that it was named after Dennis? I read more of Emanuel's stuff over weekend and I'll modify the hurricane section a bit. Kerry's Nature paper (did I send it to you) recognizes the theory does not account for the large increases in recent years.

Maybe one or two years of record numbers/severity will be enough to convince more Americans.
