Informal betting on strangest storm
What storm do you think will shred the rules of climatology the most? Please tell why, it makes it more fun. And let your imagination run wild!

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. Also, please bet on ONLY ONE STORM NAME !!!

 * Gabrielle - First major hurricane to hit NYC in 192 years (1821) Ryan1000 15:28, September 27, 2012 (UTC) Moves in a track that spells out its name in cursive. In the process, it breaks Wilma's intensity record while over the northeastern Atlantic and makes a fully tropical Category 5 landfall on Iceland. --HurricaneMaker99 21:25, July 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Humberto - Aww, come on! Humberto is THE first ever Atlantic hurricane to attain Category 5 status in Africa! He does the most EPIC Fujiwhara interaction with Fernand, Gabby, Ingrid, Jerry, Karen, Lorenzo and Melissa, forming a flower in the middle of the Atlantic! (The pictures of the hurricanes forming into a shape of a flower trend on Instagram with hashtag #gohumberto.) Aww, come on, this storm will become Africa's first ever landfalling Atlantic hurricane that makes landfall in Algeria, eventually travelling all the way down to Timbuktu then to Johannesburg, packing winds of 170 mph, 32 ft storm surge and strangely, no wind. Humberto stirs up desert wind from the Sahara. It causes CHAOS, believe you me. Damage will be even WORSE compared to Katrina, deaths from this storm will not be from people but from animals instead, so this means this hurricane does not kill people but animals. Cruel, eh? I know. Then he gets retired by the people who do the lists, but manages to regenerate and break into the office, giving them the creeps, then subsequent nighmares. Humberto then transforms into a deadly zombie and stirs up a frightful blizzard. The replacement name will be Homer, d'oh! Well, it's not IMPOSSIBRU!!!!.......  Raraahahahromaromamagagaoohlala, want your bad romance! FANMADE Flying derpy vector.gif 20:05, July 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ingrid -
 * Jerry - Intensifies to a Category 5 two days after formation, and will hit Martinique, Jamaica, Cayman Islands and Cozumel Island at the same intensity before making its final landfall in the Florida Panhandle, the track somehow similar to Wilma (2005). Will reach its peak shortly before final landfall and will be like Sandy (2012) when it reaches the Mid-Atlantic/New England states, but will bring stronger winds (115 mph) and heavier rains/snow, though post-tropical.
