For The Archives -- Notes From All Over -- Nothing About The Bakken -- September 19, 2020

Wow, it's a busy, busy night on television. I'm going back and forth on not less than four "channels" and none of them are football, BLM, or MLB. But even so, busier than ever. 

Busy, busy hurricane season. Look at this (from CNN, you may want to fact check it):

The historic 2005 Atlantic hurricane season produced so many named storms that it reached the letter Zeta in the Greek alphabet. That means the season had a total of 27 named storms; the most in any single season. 

With more than two months left until the end of Atlantic hurricane season, 2020 could surpass the 2005 in number of named storms. Already this year is far ahead of pace compared to the 2005 season. In 2005, Tropical Storm Alpha was named October 22. In 2020, Alpha was named on September 18, nearly five weeks earlier than the 2005 storm of the same name.

Affecting "our" area of interest, we had "no/lo-impact Laura"; then Sally (mostly rain); and, now starting over with the second time through the alphabet, tropical storm Beta lingering over the gulf off southeast Texas -- think Corpus Christi, maybe a bit north. Still a tropical storm but if anything gathering strength.
