I just had a thought...

If 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?

And in case you're wondering who the mysterious "they" are - we are being ruled by a world council:

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.
