What comes after omega?

The return.

[Raf]

They start on cartoon characters after that. Hurricane Atom Ant, Hurricane Bam-Bam, Hurricane Chilly Willy...

[markomalley]

We may see. Somehow I have a feeling that the 11/30 date may just tell us when we have "out of season" cyclones.

Raf, did you get that somewhere or cook it up yourself? If you did it yourself, then you must be at least as old as I am, judging from some of those.

And...Epsilon is still a hurricane!!!!!

[Lifted Up]

Epsilon was downgraded to a tropcial storm early this morning...but then late this morning it is back to a hurricane. In his discussion the forecaster admits they canmt figure out why it keeps its strength in the face of supposed cool sea surface temperatures and wind shear.

[Raf]

Made it up myself.

And 36, for the record.

[moony3424]

And 36, for the record.

I'm sorry Raf, I guess I didn't see the question for this answer. Is this your age or the number of hurricanes that we are going to get this season?

[Lifted Up]

It's just that I can't help thinking about how long I've been around when I see some of thhose and remember that I used to watch them when they were new or nearly so. Such as Quickdraw, Woody, Heckle & Jekyll, etc. This doesn't apply to characters like those from Looney Tunes & Disney since they are ageless. Anyway, I'm not surprised at your young age you didn't use some others like Popeye, Little Lulu, and Tom Terrific.

And yes, Epsilon is still a hurricane.

[Raf]

Ooh, Popeye's good. He'll make the next draft. Linus beats Little Lulu just for his Luke 2 speech in a Charlie Brown Christmas.
