Although Alpha was an innocent looking tropical depression on the onset he, turned into a major Tropical Storm and completely flooded the Dominican Republic. Then he went and changed the trajectory of Super Hurricane Wilma and deflected her Northward towards the Northeastern United States, which was flooded from several consecutive storms in early and mid October. Meanwhile the energy of tropcial stoem Alpah did indeed join forces with the outer bands of Hurricane Wilma, intensifying her already Category Two winds as she left the Florida coastline with significant damage to Southern Florida on both coasts. Tropical Storm Alpha effectively set the record in 2005 to make this the most intensive tropical named storms seasons in history.

Now we have a good five solid weeks left of the Hurricane Season as we plunge into the Greek Alphabet of names, next up of course is beta. But there are quite a few names to go through still and no one knows how far we will plunge into those names. Names like Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Lota and Kappa; will we actually get that far? Hard to say really but we certainly could as that would only be 1.5 tropcial storms per week and that is if our tropcial Hurricane Season actually ends on time this year. Remember it started two-weeks early.

We must also realize that Hurricane Wilma was only a Tropical Depression, but blew up into the most powerful Hurricane in mankind
