Record of Atlantic Hurricanes Signals Shifts in Activity
The Atlantic and Caribbean experienced few major hurricanes in the 1970s and 1980s, followed by a resurgence since 1995 that brought some of the most active seasons on record. El Niño influenced winds in 1997 and 2002, tempering activity. The period 1953 to 1970 was warm, 1971 to 1994 cool, and 1995 to 2000 marked a warm-up phase.

Spaceport weathered by Ivan could withstand storm says NASA
Kennedy Space Center director says the damaged spaceport should endure Ivan if the hurricane stays west of Florida. Forecasters track Ivan into the Gulf, staying about 200 miles west of Cape Canaveral, before possibly hitting the panhandle. Frances last weekend ripped aluminum siding from the shuttle assembly building and caused roof damage, with tarps and holes in other critical facilities.
