heretic low

Yesterday I asked what letter of the aplhabet, in storm names, we were at this time last year. My post got sent to the graveyard.
Hopefully this post will remain intact and some one will answer my question.
Simply: Which Atlantic storm was active at this time last year?
I know Katrina was in the Gulf.
Was there a hurricane in the Atlantic this time last year....August 19th...even within this week...and what was its name..?

You can always use the Unisys Hurricane archive to help check for the answers to these questions: http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/atlantic/

Katrina actually didn't get going until the 22nd, but we were through Irene and TD 10 at this point last year.
