Bret and Jose jump out at me. Gert does too, but not as a big storm, but as something strange for some reason???? Maybe later we can do a run down of our "scenarios" for each storm like we did last year.

There are a lot of scary names on that list....
Bret's been bad before....
Dennis could be a menace...
I once knew a guy named Harvey...jeez was he big and bad..
Maria scares me to death (she's my stepsis, and whew what a temper
Also, Lee might look inoculous to some...but remember "Lee Harvey Oswald"? (there's that Harvey again too). There's another reason I fear Lee. It's my middle name....BOO!!!

Anyways, let's take a look at how these names have done in the past.
Overall, this name list has the lowest named storm average. This list has an average of 8.75 named storms. In fact, this name list has yet to go beyond "L".
This list also has the least amount of storm names retired from it. This list had to wait until 1999 to finally have a name retired. Both Floyd and Lenny were retired.
Arlene is the all time Atlantic hurricane name champ. This will be her 9th time being used. However, Arlene seems to have no desire to be retired. She has not been a hurricane since 1987.
Bret and Emily are the only hurricanes to hit the U.S. as major and NOT be retired. Bret will need to be watched. Storms that missed retirement will sometimes make another go at it and succeed.
Example: Hurricane Diana missed retirement in 1984, but got retired in 1990.
Cindy has made landfall on the U.S. as a hurricane twice before. (1959 and 1963) Could third time be the charm for Cindy?
Dennis has threatened the East Coast twice before. He'll need to be watched.
Emily is the one I am mainly concerned about. During less active seasons, Emily tends to be the strongest. Not only that, but Emily has twice made landfall as a major hurricane. (1987 and 1993) Emily seems rather determined to get retired.
Franklin is not one I'm really too concerned about. Replacement names usually do not become powerful storms right off the bat. However, there are exceptions.
Example: Hurricane Michelle 2001
Gert was another close call for retirement (1993) I'd look out for Gert.
Harvey does not sound like a name that would go for retirement. Then again, I said the same thing about Charley.
Irene could continue the "I" streak. Because this is supposed to be a less active season, Irene might end up being a West Caribbean storm like Mitch, Joan, Hattie etc.
Jose sounds like a storm that has "fish" written all over it. Which means he'll either be one or he'll become a big threat.
Katrina doesn't sound too threatening. Maybe an end of the season hurricane.
Lee is a replacement name and replacement names tend not to be destructive storms. However, as I said before, there have been exceptions.
