NOAA is predicting that there is a 75% chance of above normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean in 2007. They predict 13 to 17 named storms, with 3 to 5 storms being "major" hurricanes measuring a Category 3 or higher. In contrast, in a 'normal' hurricane season there are 2 major storms. yikes
