"Alpha" Breaks the Record...

We have now run out of letters for our storms with Hurricane Wilma yet to finish out her tyrade.

Alpha has now formed in the Caribbean and as such as been formally named. 22 storms officially are recorded now for the 2005 hurricane season. A new record. Never before has the alphabet name game been run out like a quick game of nine-ball. The letters q, u, x, y, and z are not used in the naming of tropical storms.

The National Weather Service states that our current tropical storm weather pattern could likely stay with us for the next 10 years. Some of these patterns can hang around for 50 to 60 years. The National Weather Service also states that this oceanic weather pattern is very similar to the one we had in the 1950's and 60's.

I wonder if all of these factors will affect beachfront real estate prices.
