Hey I've been hit by a K storm once--Kate on November 22, 1985... This is awefully early to see the K storm already...

We are not yet caught up with 1995 yet though as Marilyn formed on September 12th 1995 but Noel didnt form until September 26th 1995 with Tanya finally forming on October 27th.... We're not to far behind though and it could happen :eek:

During the busy 1995 Hurricane Season, TWC's Meteorologist Rich Johnson mentioned that the Greek
alphabet is used after the 21 names are used. back in August 1995, that once the 21 names are used:

..1) ALPHA (AL-fuh)
..2) BETA (BAY-tuh)
..3) GAMMA (GAM-uh)
..4) DELTA (DEL-tuh)
..5) EPSILON (EP-sil-on)
..6) ZETA (ZAY-tuh)
..7) ETA (AY-tuh)
..8) THETA (THAY-tuh)
..9) IOTA (eye-OH-tuh)
10) KAPPA (KAP-uh)
11) LAMBDA (LAM-duh)
12) MU (MYOO)
13) NU (NOO)
14) XI (KS-EYE)
15) OMICRON (OM-i-KRON)
16) PI (PIE)
17) RHO (ROW)
18) SIGMA (SIG-muh)
19) TAU (TAU)
20) UPSILON (OOP-si-LON)
21) PHI (FEE)
22) CHI (K-EYE)
23) PSI (SIGH)
24) OMEGA (oh-MAY-guh)

Nice list Tom. Now what happens after 45 storms?

While it is early to be calling Karl, it already is showing signs of potential.
