Another name down... Larry. Mindy is next on the list. Nonetheless... here's the data for TD 17 and "L" named storms. Note the slightly different format: I'm longer talking about when TD 17 formed. Only what storms were active on the 2nd of October and when the "L" storm formed.
Below is a breakdown of what storms were active on Oct 2 between 1974 and 2003. (Note: storm numbers in parenthesis had been finalled out by NHC prior to Sep 25) If applicable, there is a listing of what date the "L" storm developed on. At the end the list is the 30 year average ('74-'03).
Please Note: The start dates of the L-storm are when these systems were tropical depressions.
Active Storms on October 2, followed by the date the L-storm formed.
