On average, there were 4.2 storms per season during those 13 years. The total number of storms in the 13 years ranged from one to eight storms. Eight out of the 13 years were El Nino years. A strong El Nino event probably attributed to this season's lack of tropical activity. In any event, there is still a chance that there could be another storm before the season ends on November 30.
Plans are currently underway for teams and sponsorships.
All proceeds from the tournament benefit The Weather Museum. If you think The Weather Museum is a great idea, but just haven't gotten around to making out that donation check, there are several other painless alternatives that will allow you to contribute. The Weather Museum is participating with several Houston area grocers. Every time you shop at Randall's, Kroger and Gerland's, these grocery stores will donate a percentage to The Weather Museum based on the total amount of your bill. In addition, every time you use your phone could also mean a donation to The Weather Museum.
