VIRGINIA BEACH (AP) — In another in a series of notable pronouncements, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says God told him storms and possibly a tsunami will hit America's coastline this year.
Robertson has made the predictions at least four times in the past two weeks on his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network, which he founded.
Hurricane season may not be as bad
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) -- The Colorado State University hurricane forecast is predicting that the upcoming hurricane season won't be as bad as earlier predicted.
Colorado State professor William Gray's reducing the number of likely hurricanes from nine to seven and intense hurricanes from five to three.
Isn't it something like, they aren't HIS prophets, but liars and charlatines? I could be wrong. I'll see if I can find the quote.
Gray, who's one of the nation's leading hurricane forecasters, says the fact that there have only been two hurricanes in July is not the reason for the revision.
He says Atlantic sea surface temperatures are not quite as warm and surface pressure is not quite as low. Also, the eastern equatorial Pacific has warmed some and trade winds in the tropical Atlantic are slightly stronger.
Gray and he team says hurricane activity will continue to be above average and will continue to be for another 15 to 20 years.
Thirteen major hurricanes have formed in the Atlantic Basin the past two years, seven of them striking the U.S. coast with devastating damage resulting from four of them.
