October 5, 200519 yr Author What happens if they get past Z? I'm curious. There are only 2 more names in the NHC list...After that, they go into a 'beta' list (or whatever Cape and them call it): Alpha Beta Charlie (?) Correct me if I"m wrong.
October 5, 200519 yr Author Only names left are Vance and Wilma...Hurricane season is still another month and a half.
October 5, 200519 yr After we are done with Wilma this season, if and when that does occur, we would head into a secondary listing that would include the greek alphabet.... so it'd be Hurricane Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu, Xi, Omicron, Pi, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Upsilon, Phi, Chi, Psi, Omega....

No, according to our relative experts, Charlie would be after Beta.
October 5, 200519 yr In the event that more than 21 named tropical cyclones occur in the Atlantic basin in a season, additional storms will take names from the Greek alphabet: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and so on. LINK You tell him, girl.
October 5, 200519 yr Author lol...check the noaa webpage..... meh...I have been quite frequently. Where do you see that information? Ah, I remember there being a discussion about Charlie and its relation to Hurricane Charley from last year. I didn't see tha tlink before, but ok-I believe ya.
October 5, 200519 yr Author Welp, I'm getting 20 MPH winds here in Tally (according to weather.com), and gonna be raining all day starting at 2pm... I have to walk across the entire campus to get to my class at 3, so that's going to be fun...

No, according to our relative experts, Charlie would be after Beta. you are confusing greek alphabet and phonetic alphabet son.
October 5, 200519 yr No- you are all wrong- After Hurricane Wilma, then there's Hurricane Betty, Hurricane Fred, Hurricane Barney, Hurricane Pebbles and Hurricane Bam-Bam. Then, we go through the WB characters. Much nicer way of naming storms, don't you think?????

October 5, 200519 yr Author I know the greek alphabet you asshats. I just didn't know that's how the extra storms were based.
October 6, 200519 yr Author Remnants of Stan may form into a tropical system in the Gulf. It's weird that they wouldn't keep the name, even though it is a newly reformed system. Same thing happened with Ivan, and they kept the name after it developed again. Oh well, here comes Vince. Should affect the West coast of Florida over the weekend or early next week. Tropical depression, storm, hurricane? Who knows.
