Hurricane Center Has One Name Left


DRUDGE reports that this is the second busiest hurricane season on record. Tropical storm Vince became a hurricane Sunday. The only name left on this year's list is Wilma, then the National Hurricane Center will switch for the first time to the Greek alphabet (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc.).

The busiest season on record was in 1933, when 21 storms were named. There were 20 storms in 1887 and 1995. Reliable hurricane records go back to 1851.
