Unbelievable how active the Atlantic is during a moderate El Nino, at least from a NS perspective

Edit: well dang me, it might very well be the I storm after all *facepalm*

I am betting on Cindy!

Franklin: A moderate Category 4 hurricane that may or may not make landfall in the US in late August/early September.
Hurricane Franklin was a long-lived, erratic, and powerful hurricane that brought tropical-storm force winds to parts of the Greater Antilles and Bermuda. The seventh named storm,[1] second hurricane and first major hurricane of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, Franklin impacted Hispaniola as a tropical storm before strengthening into a high-end Category 4 hurricane several days later. Possessing a large wind field, the hurricane produced tropical storm force winds over Bermuda. It became extratropical as it accelerated into the open northern Atlantic.

Those 5 are my guesses, although not expecting all of them to be big ones, but maybe 1 to 2 of those names. Best bets IMO are on Franklin and Harold, peak season majors in an otherwise quieter season, and think one or both of these could be Caribbean cruisers that go into Hispaniola or other nearby islands, like in 1987 or 1963 for example.
