In this satellite image provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season, appears over
the Gulf of Mexico, June 2006. Americans breathed a sigh of relief at the official end of an uncommonly
quiet Atlantic hurricane season, a year after record-setting 2005 saw the US Gulf Coast ravaged by the
Hurricane Katrina mega-storm.

Robb Zerr (C) and other pirate re-enactors coerce a hurricane symbol to walk a 'pirate's plank' in Key West,
Florida November 30, 2006. The event marked the end of the 2006 Atlantic basin hurricane season and the
beginning of the four-day Pirates in Paradise festival. After two previous tumultuous hurricane seasons, 2006
was uneventful with no Atlantic-basin hurricanes impacting United States coastal areas, according to forecasters.

Hurricane Isaac is seen in a October 2, 2006 satellite visualization image from the NOAA. The surprisingly mild 2006
Atlantic hurricane season ended with a whimper on Thursday and forecasters said it was too early to know if El Nino
will last long enough to flatten next year's hurricanes too.

Along the U.S. coast, folks grateful
for weak
hurricane season
MIAMI -- Predictions that this would be another brutal hurricane season failed to come true.
So far, with just one month left, there have been only nine named storms, and not a single
hurricane has hit the U-S mainland. The 2006 Atlantic season ends November 30th.
Across the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, the calm weather has brought powerful relief and
few regrets about the millions of dollars spent on stepped-up preparations.
Experts say a warm-water trend in the Pacific known as El Nino developed more
rapidly than expected this summer, suppressing the formation of storms in the Atlantic and creating more crosswinds
that can rip hurricanes apart.
With last year's ruinous hurricanes fresh in her mind, Beth Aroyo of Coral Springs
stocked up last spring on dried food, canned goods and lots of bottled water. She ended up pouring the water into her pool
and donating most of the food to the needy.

After I began this "Closing the Window of Disaster" on June 22, 2006, a significant result
took place when until the end of hurricane season 2006 there were no dangerous hurricane entering the U.S., except for some
tornadoes. Probably because my main concern was the devastation of hurricane Katrina in 2005, so it was the dangerous hurricane
that was not appeared in 2006.
In the first letter I mentioned
"….By developing this homepage of 'Closing the Window of Disaster', it would hopefully become like a wish that I would never become a
trigger to certain huge disasters anymore….". The fact that even after some experts predicted there would be some dangerous hurricanes in 2006,
yet none of them really appeared, created the conclusion that an important message has been sent to me.
Most of all, I thank God for my wish has been answered that way. The question is, what the message really is. Why it happened after I wrote these letters to you? Is your position
in this world becomes the main reason, to help me get more answer about this? Or are we given an opportunity to make some kind of "conversation
with the nature"?
But since it happened only once, in 2006, then some people might think it would be unfair to consider that I have been
given the answer of my pray through this "Closing the Window of Disaster". So I should try it again for the coming hurricane season of 2007, and consider
it as some kind of pray. Because after all pray can chance destiny.
If in fact in hurricane season 2007 some dangerous hurricane still made landfall in the U.S., then perhaps last year
was only a coincidence. Perhaps.

Forecasters expect nine Atlantic hurricanes in 2007
Thu May 31, 9:41 AM ET
MIAMI (Reuters) -- The Colorado State University hurricane research team left unchanged its outlook for the 2007
Atlantic storm season on Thursday and predicted there would be 17 storms, with nine growing to hurricane strength.
Of those, five would become major hurricanes of Category 3 or higher with winds over 110 mph (177 kph), the team
founded by forecast pioneer William Gray said in its revised forecast. Thursday's forecast was unchanged from a forecast
they issued on April 3 for the six-month storm season that starts on Friday.

Predictions have appeared in the media for hurricane season 2007. The Colorado State University
hurricane research team left unchanged its outlook for the 2007 Atlantic storm season on Thursday and predicted there would be 17 storms,
with nine growing to hurricane strength.
Year 2007 becomes significant for me because it like contains the number 27, whereas my brother
Faisal is the second child in the family who studied at Senior High School 7 after my sister. Or it becomes like second in 7, or 27.
If I might choose whether I could pray for no more dangerous hurricane in the U.S. in this hurricane
season of 2007, then I would choose it. If these letters could become the pray for it, then I have no other choice than to continue these letters
until the end of hurricane season 2007 over.
