Yay ^_^

This is exciting... XP

I wonder how many letters we'll cover?
 
How... convenient. Do we call the resulting system WA(shington)?
 
What's the latest word on where the combined system will make landfall? Last I heard it was near Nova Scotia (unless my Canadian geography is COMPLETELY off).
 
Wait, did we really use up all the names in the world on hurricanes?
 
We have one name starting with each letter of the alphabet each year, (though some letters - mainly X, Y, and Z - are missed out.) We only got to Alpha because we have had so many this year.
 
To be exact Q, X, Y, and Z are skipped. The other 22 letters are used from A-W, alternating between masculine and feminine names. Also every year alternates between starting with a masculine or feminine name. Once all 22 reserved names for a year have been used up, then greek letters are used, hence what happened this year.
