I wonder if any Greek letter storms were ever retired like the regular name storms have when really bad. What do they do then?? |

No, none of them were retired, but each of them happened only once, obviously.I assume if they are retired they would have to just skip over that letter. What they should do though is replace any retired Greek storm with a Hebrew letter, since the names sound similar and they come from a common source. I would love to see if Tropical Storm Zayin will fuck anyone over.* *Later I’ll explain the joke. |

Beta did quite a bit of damage in 2005 and killed 9 people, but they haven't retired it, as this year's version just formed in the Gulf of Mexico (I posted a link in the other thread). |

Or the "Greek" hurricanes are exempt from retirement (this is only the second time they've had to use them). |

Zayin is both the seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet (and ancestor of the Latin letter Z), and the Hebrew word for “spear,” in its vulgar connotation, and the verb form thereof means “to fuck.” |
