Apocalypse, now?

Wilma is now the strongest hurricane on record. And it means this year ties for the most hurricanes in one season. We've even depleted the list of hurricane names. Now is not a good time to live on the coast.

Seems we have a lot more like this to look forward to, according to the Post:

The hurricane season lasts until Nov. 30. Hurricane specialist Stacy Stewart from the hurricane center said the Atlantic Ocean is currently in an active 30-year hurricane period, which started in 1995. He said the recent stepped-up activity is not unusual for an active period, which he predicts could last another 20 years.
