Hurricane Beta slammed into the Nicaraguan coastline as a Category III Hurricane. It made this 2005 Hurricane Season the most full-fledged Hurricanes on record. As if we had not set enough Western World Weather Records this month as we wait for Greek Alphabet Hurricanes Gamma and Delta?

It was to be expected and the massive flooding is already washing away villages and adding up casualties. The death toll is not known yet, but expected to be high. Perhaps not as high as Hurricane Mitch seven years ago which landed in Nicaragua and killed 11,000, but still high enough to make it one of the worst storms to ever hit the Caribbean Central American Coastline.

Luckily many people were evacuated early thanks to the Hurricane Warning knowledge gathered by Mexican Weather Center and the United States NOAA. Many life-threatening mudslides did occur as well as torrential rains causing many flash floods, which swept away people and homes.

Many are still worried that since Hurricane Season is still got four weeks left that we will dive even further into the Greek Alphabet, some have even gone so far as to ask the question, what happens if we run out of Greek Names too? Think on it.
