Here's an article about the state of the Hurricane season. To me, it looks like it's going to be a doozy.
state of 2011 atlantic hurricane season
There's a good graph that I'll summarize here for those too lazy to click on links
/ 2011 Season to date / Average since 1966 / 2010
named storms / 12 / 5 / 7
hurricanes / 2 / 2 / 3
major hurricanes / 1 / 0 / 2
The rest of the article discusses some other interesting aspects of hurricanes, and how a late start to hurricane season doesn't have a correlation with how severe the season is. And also that it's not the number of hurricanes that determines a bad season, but rather how severe the hurricanes are or how much damage they cause.
