Arthur
Well it was not a long wait for our first named storm, Arthur is a Tropical Storm, which actually formed yesterday before the season began, and actually it's being broken down while going over land in Central America. So it's already been downgraded to a depression - a short lived storm obviously.
Actually he was a sex change storm. It was a Pacific system, Alma, which hit Nicaragua on Friday, then as it crossed the Isthmus of Central America it became a depression until it hit the Gulf side and reformed and became Atlantic system storm Arthur. So SHE changed jurisdictions and names and became MALE. I think we're going to have a lot of very small storms like this one but the ones that count obviously are the only one that hits you directly.
