In any event, two unquestionably legit storms through July 10 (there hasn’t been any “count-padding” this year, even arguably), one of them a MAJOR HURRICANE THAT FORMED RIGHT OFF AFRICA, means this season is off to a rip-roaring start.

Did not TS Alma originate in the Eastern Pacific basin, not the North Atlantic (which, indeed, is why it was called “Alma” and not “Arthur”, as a storm with an Atlantic genesis would have been named in 2008)?
