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. DO NOT FILL IN A STORM THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN FILLED IN!!
 * Arthur - First June Cat 5 on record for the ATL, strikes western Cuba as a 4 and then South Florida as a 3. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 23:05, September 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Bertha - Bertha will be the strongest storm of the season, at an incredible 60kts. Yqt1001 (talk) 19:56, October 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Cristobal - Cristobal attains Category 5 intensity and pulls a track mimicking 1964's Hurricane Dora. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  20:05, August 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Dolly -
 * Edouard -
 * Fay - Fay forms near the Windward Islands on August 20. It then begins to strengthen even though it's interacting with land, and it literally strengthens into a hurricane over Hispaniola!!! Fay then moves through Cuba without weakening, and it then heads towards Florida and makes landfall as a Category 2. After that, it literally zig-zags through Florida as a hurricane, making lots of landfalls and causing lots of deaths!!! And then it heads into the central U.S. as a tropical storm and produces a massive tornado outbreak, and more people died!! Fay turns southward back into the Gulf of Mexico, strengthens into a Category 2, makes a landfall in Mexico, and even more people died!! The mountains of Mexico don't kill her, she just keeps on going and the storm soon enters the Pacific! After entering the Pacific, it moves towards Baja as a Category 3, turns northwestward, and makes a landfall in SoCal as a Category 1!! Fay didn't stop there, it re-enters the Pacific, turns northward and moves at over 50 mph, and makes landfall in Alaska as a TS! Fay then turns into a snowstorm and dissipates on September 19 after lasting nearly a month doing these extremely crazy stunts and causing lots of panic throughout its path!!!! (Sorry for my violence guys, this is probably the craziest storm I ever imagined!) <font face="Times New Roman"> Steve  820  ✉   21:28, February 8, 2014 (UTC)

 * Josephine -
 * Kyle - Da da da da da da da daaaaahhh!!! Welcome to the Jeremy Kyle Show where we have Josephine and Laura on the show arguing whether Gonzalo is Laura's baby or not. "Josephine's on the show, ladies and gents." "BOOOOO!!!"" goes the audience. After 9 minutes of pointless argument between Josephine, Laura and Jeremy, Gonzalo starts to work his waters as the backstage crew feeds him with a milk bottle. Jeremy, fuming with anger, dissolved into a cloud of debris as he magically transformed into... a hurricane. A hurricane that can wipe out all of Blighty in a nanosecond. Hurricane "Kyle" then transforms into a MEGA MONSTER which SMASHES THE WHOLE WORLD INTO SMITHERINES!! RAAAARRRRGGGG!!!! Seriously, though, Kyle would really peck Laura's head!

Informal betting on number of subtropical storms
How many storms will peak at subtropical storm intensity? If you want to be extremely specific, please write down the names of the storms you think will do so. I have a question to ask regarding this pool before I make my bet - if a storm is subtropical when it forms, but subsequently acquires fully tropical characteristics (e.g. Gustav and Kyle '02, Otto '04, Vince '05, Jerry and Olga '07, Laura '08, Otto '10, Sean '11, and Beryl '12), does it still count towards one's bet? --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 20:43, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * None - Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  20:05, August 1, 2013 (UTC) Ryan1000 02:41, September 3, 2013 (UTC) NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN The fun has been doubled sigpic.png HAHA, the fun has been doubled! The fun has been doubled sigpic.png 19:27, September 25, 2013 (UTC) Gonzalo and Isaias will form as subtropical storms before becoming fully tropical, though. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 20:34, October 28, 2013 (UTC), Yqt1001 (talk) 19:56, October 29, 2013 (UTC)  <font face="Times New Roman">  Steve  820  ✉   21:28, February 8, 2014 (UTC)

 * Hmm, I didn't make this section, but since it says " How many storms will peak at subtropical storm intensity?", I'd assume that means "not become tropical". Ryan1000 17:06, October 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. I was gonna bet on Gonzalo and Isaias forming as subtropical storms and then acquiring fully tropical characteristics later on, but nevermind then. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 20:34, October 28, 2013 (UTC)

Informal betting on number of off-season storms
This is another new section for 2014 - Will there be any off-season storms? If you want to be specific, write down the storm names that will form off-season. P.S. A storm that forms in November but persists into December counts as an off-season storm.
 * None - None this year.
