Informal betting on strangest storm
I couldn't resist. What storm do you think will shred the rules of climatoligy 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. Also, please do not bet on a storm that has already formed. ; )
 * Alberto -
 * Beryl -
 * Chris -
 * Debby -
 * Ernesto -
 * Florence - Traverses across the Atlantic, through central america into the EPac, crosses across the entire pacific ocean from there, hits the Malay peninsula, and passes just south of India to hit Somalia as a category 4. Then, it's name is revived again after crossing Africa and it re-crosses the entire Atlantic again and finally hits the east coast of the U.S. before dissipating. Ryan1000 03:44, July 1, 2011 (UTC)
