The most storms we've ever had in a season was 21, I think that was in 1933 (?). If they were named then, we would have gotten to the end of the list. NHC does not use Q,U,X,Y, or Z in their lists, so there are 21 names each year.

In 1995 we got to T, with 19 storms. I have begun to wonder if they will soon do away with I as well, since they have retired Isadore, Isabel, and will retire Ivan this year. There aren't a lot of I names left...
