A Bumper Crop Of Named Storms
We're already up to Tropical Storm Ophelia, which is dumping a lot of rain on my house in Boca Raton, and it's just the beginning of September. There are only six names left to use as we move into the heaviest part of hurricane season.

My understanding is that if they run though the entire list of names, they start using the names of greek letters. Tropical Storm Alpha, etc.

Paul beat me to it. As my wife works for the NWS, I had occasion to be informed of this some time ago.
Unmarried men would be surprised to learn how much you can find out from your wives without having to ask.

McGehee: Unmarried men usually call that information volunteered from wives "nagging."
In fact, so do married men.

But not to our wives' faces.
