kickahaIf they retire hurricane names that are considered highly damaging and deadly...
And now they're getting into Greek letter names...
Might we have, years down the road, a series of names past W like Beta, Delta, Epsilon, etc?
Will they retire the supplementary names?

Possibly

They don't have a contingency plan!
But we could lobby, if we wanted to. Trish and I want to see Xavier, Zelda and Quentin.
On the other hand, late season hurricanes tend to be weaker, therefor less likely to cause lots of damage/deaths. Of course, they may also come at the end of a long, tiring, painful hurricane season and have fewer people evacuate, leading to more lives lost. I suspect the World Council will figure a way out, maintaining their control over an innocent populace.
