August 4th and storms brought to you by the letter F

#1 Postby senorpepr » Sat Aug 04, 2012 7:30 am

...Florence continues the early August burst...

The next five names to be used as: Gordon, Helene, Isaac, Joyce, and Kirk

Below are some statistics for the sixth named storm of the season since 1950. Additionally, listed are the sixth storm from each season since 1851 and a look back to storms named Florence.

*** Please note: The following data encompasses data utilizing today's standard for naming storms. Subtropical storms are included, but depressions aren't. In addition, the dates reflect when a tropical storm reached that status rather than depression status. Adjustments have been made to include unnamed storms where in today's standard it would have been named. Therefore, if a unnamed storm forms before the A-storm, this database would assume the unnamed storm is A, and the real A-storm is B.

This year's Florence is the first MODERN one to not reach hurricane status!

Florence is the only original F name left, and no wonder given that she always underachieves...

Well, Florence wasn't used in 1983 and she was only a Cat 1 at landfall in 1988. Otherwise, every other Florence has been a fish storm. It's just a matter of luck for her.

Frederic was killed off on the first use. Fran had been used for two crappy tropical storms before rearing it's ugly head, and same with Floyd.

Frances and Felix had more fierce storms previously, but it was just luck that got them to become fierce storms in 2004 and 2007.

Florence will get retired eventually.
