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, makes it more fun.

This section is just for fun. There will likely be no winner. Because of this, please do not mark out the names as they form. Also, please do not vote for a storm that has already formed. ;)


 * Alex-
 * Bonnie-
 * Colin-
 * Danielle-
 * Earl-
 * Fiona- Forms in the Caribbean early in the season, crisscrosses Cuba and Florida several times, strengthens to a cat. 3 in the Gulf before hitting Florida again, explodes to a category 4 in the Gulf Stream, turns eastward, hits Bermuda, then travels across the Atlantic and makes landfall on Morocco as a cat. 1, before restrengthening in the Mediterranean and hitting southern France as a tropical storm. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 02:13, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
