What’s the longest a storm has maintained "storm" status..... Franklin is going on a week now..…




Ganked from http://www.wxresearch.com/outlook/2002end.htm:
Kyle lasted for 23 days.

Kyle was the third longest storm since 1871 behind Ginger in 1971 which lasted 31 days and Igna in 1969 which lasted 25 days. Carrie in 1957 lasted 23 days as well. Since 1871 there have been eight storms which lasted 20 days more.

That was as of 2002. Not sure if anything has been longer since.
