I wouldn't be surprised if we never saw another Gamma in my lifetime. I really think this season will go down in the record books.

37 is nowhere near enough to be retired. Its a common occurrance for a landfalling cyclone

bret killed 176, yet it remains. To get retired based upon deaths alone, you need to be in the thousands

Yeah... because it also causes billions(in most cases) dollars in damage. It's not just deaths that determine retirements.
