Oh. WOW.
Which name(s)of the 2005 list will be the big one(s)?

Reasons being last season Danielle at one point was forecast to hit the south coast of England (Would of have been extratropical by then), and Karl made it up this way as well.
I gotta give the Brit the nod here. I think he was the only one to name 2 of em. Didn't get Emily and hardly anyone mentioned Rita or Wilma.
Didn't a lot of extratropical remnants make it up near England this year?

BIG NAMES IN 2005... (parenthesis indicates a little big, but not sure)
Data is based on intensity, damages, and records broken of storms.
Dennis
Emily
Katrina
(Ophelia)
Rita
Stan
(Vince)
Wilma
(Alpha)
(Beta)
Post verifications here. (Although with one more month in the season, may need to bump this again in the future.)
Ophelia? You might as well add Cindy, José, and Tammy...

Those are the big ones. Beta may eventually rack up as a "BIG ONE". Alpha, Vince and Ophelia dont even come close to that list.

Here is my ranking of named storms from worst to best this year:
1. Katrina (Cat 1 through the heart of Miami, then the devastation of NOLA and the Mississippi Coast)
2. Wilma (lashed Cancun and Cozumel for two days, then raced through south Florida)
3. Emily (two major landfalls in Mexico, including the first hit of the year for Cozumel)
4. Rita (minor effects in Keys, extensive damage near TX/LA border with high surge, but doesn't have the insane damage of Katrina or the insane pressure of Wilma)
5. Dennis (severely impacted central and eastern Cuba as a major 'cane, then impacted northwest Florida as a weakening 3)
6. Stan (Only a Cat 1 into southern Mexico, but will be remembered more for its effects in Guatemala)
7. Beta (haven't read the damage reports yet, but a Cat 2 into Central America can't be a walk in the park)
8. Ophelia (never made landfall, but raked the Outer Banks with Cat 1 conditions)
9. Cindy (very close to a hurricane IMO)
10. Vince
11. Alpha (both Vince and Alpha are odd in its own way: Alpha for breaking into the Greek alphabet, and Vince for hitting Spain, but Vince gets the nod because it became a hurricane)
12. Arlene (a mere pre-Dennis nuisance)
13. Gert (a bit wider wind swath than Bret and Jose)
14. Jose
15. Bret (Jose and Bret were minimal TSs that hit around the same place, but Jose gets the nod over Bret because the winds were 50mph as opposed to 40)
16. Tammy (notable for "hitting" Jacksonville, though most of the effects were well away from the center)
17. Harvey (passed 30 miles south of Bermuda)
18. Franklin (gave the Bahamas some rain and wind, but nothing major)
19. Nate (made hurricane status and gave Bermuda a scare)
20. Maria (the only major not to make landfall)
21. Irene (the Outer Banks were in the three-day cone on one advisory)
22. Phillippe (ramped up quickly into a hurricane, but died off rather quickly)
23. Lee (was this even a tropical storm?)

I made this late season prediction on September 25...
Well I guess my gut feeling was right.....I called the storm but missed the name.

I keep thinking South Florida is going to get a big October storm from the west, kind of like Irene in 99, but more than a weak Cat 1. So I don't know about the name, but I keep getting the month....October. A Storm from the carribean going NE over SoFla. Hmmmm.....maybe Vince.
