weather question

["Devine, James" <jdevine@xxxxxxx>]

It seems to me that in previous years, I never heard of
Atlantic/Caribbean  hurricanes or tropical storms whose names started
with letters as high as "L." (Of course, the names follow alphabetical
order.) This year, I've heard of one whose name starts with "N." Are
there more tropical storms this year than in the past? (due to global
warming?) or are the media reporting them more? 

Previous meterologists have only interpreted hurricanes. The point is to
change them!
