Introducing Alpha

Here we go:

Tropical Storm Alpha formed Saturday in the Caribbean Sea, setting the record for the most number of storms in an Atlantic hurricane season, forecasters said. Alpha is the season's 22nd tropical storm and marks the first time a letter from the Greek alphabet has been used because the list of storm names is used up. The previous record of 21 storms stood since 1933.
At 4 p.m. CDT, the storm had sustained winds of about 40 mph. It was moving northwest at about 15 mph, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. A tropical storm warning was in place for Haiti and parts of the Dominican Republic, and a tropical storm watch was in effect for the Turks and Caicos islands and the southeastern Bahamas.

Speaking of CDT, in a couple of weeks it will be dark at 5:30. Bleh.
