2005 Atlantic Storm Names

[DandyDon]

Now this is weird...?! :11:

Hurricane VINCE is on line to hit Spain...??

Well, that just leaves Wilma, then we run out of names.

Actually we don't. Then it's Alpha, Beta, Gamma...etc. Stay calm, Dandy Don. It's just reality, experience it.

Instead of names why aren't numbers used?
Very practical - Hurricane 2005-1, 2005-2 . . .
That way no two hurricanes would ever have the same name.
Too logical ???

I've updated the 1st post to reflect the name usage, landfalls, and now included the Greek names.

The Greek letter after Nu and before Omicron is Xi (pronounced zzEYE). It is different from the letter Chi which is properly listed 3rd from last. Let's just hope we never get to use it!

TD #26 was declared at the 11pm report. May possibly become Beta.
