I knew about Iris, but the question was specific about AC. In any case, wasn't Iris in 2002?

October 8, 2001. Cat 4. Devastated Placencia and parts pf Seine Bight and many Toledo Villages.

No storms on AC for 2001! Thank God for that!

Most of world didn't know about Hurricane Iris because they were still suffering the immediate affects of 9/11.

Kinda hard for anyone in the diving community not to have appreciated (for lack of a better word) the devastation wrought by Iris.

No mention of Belize or even Central America, let alone AC, but pundits are expecting a very bad hurricane season:- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml;jsessionid=K5BRMKID2F5KBQFIQMGSFFWAVCBQWIV0?xml=/money/2007/05/24/cnhurricane24.xml

I seem to recall they predicted a bad year last year as well. I don't mean to advocate a lack of vigilance, but I wish forecasters would acknowledge their failures as well as their successes. All in all, be prepared and, in the meantime, you're in SP--be happy!!
