A which of a wind

It's been solid overcast for two days and windy with tropical gusts well into the 30s.

Hurricane Ida is well southwest of us, and what we're feeling are feeder bands passing over. There's a worse conga line of storms along Cuba's northern coast, and the only impact forecast for us might be late in the week, if the storm boomerangs as it nears the Gulf coast and heads back south as a depression.

But it struck me: I came down last year for Fay, in August; it's already November and we're only up to Ida? (In '05, we'd hit Wilma by now, or rather she had hit us.) And storm season "closes" at the end of the month?
