Forum:2016 Atlantic hurricane season/Betting pools

These are the betting pools for the 2016 Atlantic Hurricane Season!

To keep it fun, no betting on storms that have already formed!

No actual betting is going on here (that I'm aware of)

Informal betting on strangest storm
I couldn't resist. What storm do you think will shred the rules of climatology the most? Please tell why, it makes it more fun.

This section is just for fun. There will likely be no winner. Because of this, please do not cross out the names as they form, and please do not bet on a storm that has already formed. ; )
 * Alex - Becomes a very large but weak subtropical storm at a northernly latitude, 500 miles wide, 50 mph winds, and a pressure of 966 mb, smashing all records for lowest pressure for a tropical storm. Does not make landfall as a TS, but effects the east coast due to it's huge size and hits Europe as an extratropical storm with 60 mph winds. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 18:15, December 28, 2015 (UTC) Becomes an unexpected, but weak tropical storm that forms way before the season begins.

Informal betting on strongest storm name
