More storms forming in the Atlantic

This post confirms what a dork I am...just a warning. I was reading over at Weather.com that the next tropical storm has formed: Philippe. It is the 16th named storm of the season, making it the earliest 16th storm in recorded history. It is currently near the Lesser Antilles.

As if that weren't enough, Tropical Depression No. 18 has formed as well and will likely become Rita, the 17th named storm (obviously) of the season. It is projected to head toward southern FL and the FL keys by early next week.

And two other systems in the Atlantic are being watched for further development. The forecasters who said that this would be a highly active hurricane season can pat themselves on the back.

This hurricane could continue to make history...some experts expect for the current name list to be exhausted before the end of the season (ending in Nov.). After the last name, Wilma,is used, I believe that Greek letters are used to name any following storms of tropical storm intensity.

Yeah, I know hurricanes don't play nice with people...but I do find them fascinating anyway...the way they form, how they grow, how they sustain their mass until landfall...amazing. Ok..that's all she wrote. I warned you...I'm a dork!! HA

Yeah, hurricane formation and history is actually pretty interesting, but I'm all into science, so it's no surprise that I find it fascinating. Will be interesting to see where the remainder of the season goes for sure.

Oh, and the above comment is really...classy... =P
