No.
In 1983, we reached the W name. In October of 1985, we did as well. Shortly thereafter, the EPHC added emergency X, Y, and Z names, which are still in use today. We reached X in 1985, and Z in 1992.
For what it's worth, we got Lowell two days before 1992 got Lester, and we'll need Marie and Norbert by August 27 to keep pace. O comes on September 2, and P by the 11th.
1983 won't even hit J until August 24 and that season is basically out of the race now despite its' furious finish, but 1985 is actually ahead of everything at the moment.
1985 had Nora form on this date, and would have P by August 27th (and S by September 5)...and then 1985 really slowed down and finished the season on X.
So if we are going to beat 1992 and go Greek, we're still running a solid second place right now and within striking distance if the momentum can maintain through October.
