BTW, the Pacific also has a tropical storm. The 16th this year. Three are currently in the Atlantic.

Once upon a time, an active hurricane season was four storms. 1960 meant Donna (fourth storm) was an unusually active season. Donna was particularly large - a category three. Hurricanes rarely got beyond the letter C.

Today a normal season is over 10 storms. Ten is a quiet year. 2005 was so active that the hurricane center ran out of name; resorted to using Greek letters Alpha, Beta, Gamma .... Epsilon, and Zeta. That was 31 tropical storms of which 28 became hurricanes.

The Don says global warming does not exist. This is normal. It must be true. The Don says so.
