I remember people saying the same thing last year about running out of names and people said no way it would happen!

However.... we are in early July and could possibly be up to "E" in the next week.

Sure hope we don't get to Vince..... not a good one!
Wilma on the other hand shouldn't be bad

I guess we'd have to add Zeus or something. Maybe we can go back and fill in the lettters Q,U,X,Y,Z any suggestions?

The scary thing is, the global models (ECMWF, UKMET, GFS, CMC) are bullish on the wave behind TD5 and develope it into a tropical cyclone. If it does develope, we'd have Franklin within a week. Scary, scary, scary...

Y - Yelda
Z - Zachary

I doubt we'd get to Wilma, eventually im sure there will be some type of pattern change....a Trough will come down from the North or something and shut things down

I actually know that....I was just playing with someone's idea to go back to the other letters.

I wonder what would happen if we somehow got to that auxiliary list and there was a devastating storm on that list. Like, for instance, a bad Hurricane Beta hits somewhere. Would it just be gone or what would happen to that name?

Not that I hope that happens though. Just curious.
