Crikey- have they any names left for this year?

They have lined up the Greek alphabet. True!

Hurricane Omega anyone?

You can predict the Sun headline to that one.

Hope the hurricane dies down before hitting the shore...

Spoke too soon. It just became a Cat 2 according to Sky News.

It's now a category 5! And we're supposed to be going to The Bahamas at the weekend! What am I meant to do?

Check the small print in your travel insurance regarding cancellation?

165 mph sustained, as of a half hour ago. I wonder how they know it's going to hook so sharply to the right (models, I know, but still, that's quite a change). It's usually difficult for a storm to maintain such a speed and might weaken to a 4. I sure hope there will be some mitigating weather to weaken it further.
