I had to work late last night, but I'm all for making a favorite storms forum for any basin, though try to keep things on topic for the wiki when discussing them. I like strong fishspinners in the EPac quite more than the Atlantic due to their lack of threat to land; unfortunately that's not the case with most Atlantic storms. Even strong Cape Verde hurricanes that remain well away from land in the Atlantic can (and often) still kill people on the east coast due to rip currents. A few good examples of those that didn't include Lee last year (fortunateLEE), Fred of 2009, and Michael of 2012, which also overperformed the NHC. Even our late admin Eric (SkyFury) was surprised at his rapid explosion to cat 3 (see the September 2012 archive).
