Which 2006 Names Will Be The Worst Storms?
Here is my list of 2006 names I feel will be the worst out of the entire list...
1. Debby (sounds like a nasty Caribbean/Yucatan/mainland Mexico/extreme southern Texas storm)
2. Ernesto (sounds like a bad Carolinas storm; not a Cape Verde system)
3. Florence (reminds me of Frances; incredibly nasty, Cape Verde-type major storm for Caribbean, Bahamas, and southeast Florida, making U.S. landfall in Palm Beach or Broward counties as a Category Four)
4. Gordon (likely to cause bad Caribbean/Yucatan/Bay of Campeche/mainland Mexico problems, peaking as a Category Two)
5. Helene (high-end tropical storm for Carolinas, Mid-Atlantic, and northeastern U.S., causing huge flooding problems and wind damage)
6. Isaac (another nasty, major Cape Verde storm, likely forming in September; causes nasty damage in Caribbean, Yucatan, and middle Texas)
7. Joyce (nasty Cape Verde-type storm that hits Carolinas, causing damage similar to Ernesto)
8. Leslie (late-season storm that forms in southern Caribbean; causes problems as it moves up through the Caribbean, strengthening to a high-end tropical storm before turning northeast/east-northeast)
What names of the list do you think will be the worst?

Many threads have already been created about the topic, though it's all right.
As I've stated so many times before, Debby for 2006 gives me really bad vibes, just as Katrina did this time last year. Like Katrina, I have used Debby in many of my fantasy hurricane tracks that I've done.
And also that it missed its chance six years ago too.
Kirk, Sandy, and Tony give me bad vibes as well.

Here's my rundown of the first 16 names, as that's how many I am going to guess at this time:
Alberto - Strong TS, hits the northern Gulf Coast somewhere, probably the Florida Panhandle
Beryl - Early season C1 hurricane, fish
Chris - C2 July hurricane, also a fish but briefly threatens the Bahamas and the East Coast.
Debby - For some reason, this one sounds like a dud instead of the big one like many think
Ernesto - YUCK! I am aware of this guy's history, but I think he's biding his time. Not as big as Michael (see below), but a definite troublemaker for someone in
Texas. C2 or C3 at landfall in the first week of August. First intense hurricane of the season, I think.
Florence - Fish, but a C4
Gordon - Weak fish, similar to Lee but a little stronger
Helene - Tough one to call. I originally was thinking a strong TS fish (70 mph), but I recently have had a mixed vibe off of this one. If these vibes hold true, I say a C3 into Florida. But I'm gonna go with my original fish feeling for now, perhaps wishful thinking.
Isaac - Very strong C4, 150 mph. Fortunately, is also a fish, but makes a bigtime threat to the East Coast.
Joyce - Think back to 1996. Isaac could be this year's Edouard, which also was a very strong hurricane, made a big threat to the East Coast, but missed. Then Fran came and smacked NC at a C3 hard. If Isaac is this year's Edouard, Joyce is the Fran. Except I have her hitting Central Florida and then heading inland, ala Jeanne, but a Fran-like path. Like Fran, a C3 at landfall in early September. (Disclaimer: If, however, Helene has been a big one for Florida like I mentioned as a possibility, Joyce will instead take Helene's spot and be a 70-mph fish)
Kirk - Lee's younger brother. Pathetic 40-mph fish storm, barely lasts a day or two.
Leslie - Another fish TS. 50-60 mph.
Michael - THIS IS THE ONE. Late September. Very large and very intense C4 hurricane (borderline C5 in fact, but not quite), very similar in appearance to Floyd. Weakens before it strikes, but not nearly as fast as Floyd did. 125 mph C3 at landfall in coastal NC while moving fast, then moves offshore, and hits New England as a C1 with 80-85 mph winds. Causes MAJOR damage all along the East Coast. HUGE wake-up call for residents of the New England states and for New York City, as they will receive NASTY conditions from this bad boy. As for destruction, think somewhere near the Long Island Express! I'm serious, Michael sounds THAT bad.
Nadine - C2 fish in October, but briefly threatens Bermuda. Think Nate.
Oscar - Late-season C3 in October, hits Mexico hard.
Patty - November TS of subtropical origins, never a threat but tries to become another surprise hurricane. 70 mph.
So in short, Ernesto, either Helene or Joyce, and Michael are the ones the U.S. needs to watch out for, especially Michael. However, I think Joyce has more of the sound to it than Helene right now. In addition, Mexico has a big one in Oscar. That name just doesn't sound quite right for some reason, but nothing like Michael.

Just on a hunch I'm thinking "Gordon" will be the one to remember in '06.
