1971. Nixon was president. So many parallels.

It's peak hurricane season, and that's clear when you look at the Atlantic Ocean, which has five active tropical cyclones at the same time for only the second time in history.

The only other time there were five active tropical cyclones -- hurricane, tropical storm and/or tropical depression -- in the Atlantic was in 1971.
The five systems are Hurricane Paulette, Hurricane Sally, Tropical Storm Teddy, Tropical Storm Vicky, and Tropical Depression Rene.
For the 2nd time on record, the Atlantic has 5+ tropical cyclones (tropical depression (TD) or stronger) simultaneously: #Hurricane #Paulette, TD #Rene, Tropical Storm #Sally, Tropical Storm #Teddy and TD21. Other time was from September 11-14, 1971. pic.twitter.com/9ET1OoxE6f

Strange Mother Nature appears to hate ReTHUG presidents - Nixon and the Con.
Dumbya had it pretty bad as well in 2005.

4. Down to the V's already.

And there's still a month and a half left in the official hurricane season.

And of course that doesn't mean there won't be any storms after Nov 01.
