Even in 1995, which was by any standards a very active year, August that year had only 7 named storms actually form that month... FELIX to LUIS. Since ERIN was already named and around by August 1st that year.
This year, ALEX was named on August 1st, and so we have had [b]8 named storms form this month--ALEX to HERMINE, at least a modern day record for August, and possibly any month.
