Don, Sean, and Whitney were some nice replacements, but as I said before, Katia and Rina were crap.

The chances of reaching greek names are increasing as the season rolls to the K name very soon before reaching September.

That is still undetermined. I believe the current rule is the name will not be retired no matter what, but that may change if the circumstances dictate. It would likely only be truly retired if it is a really, really bad storm like Katrina, Andrew, Camille or Mitch.
