> Meteorologists were forced to break out the Greek alphabet Friday to name Atlantic storms for only the second time ever after the 2020 hurricane season blew through their usual list, ending on Tropical Storm Wilfred.
> Tropical Storm Beta was packing maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour in the Gulf of Mexico, some 280 miles off the mouth of the Rio Grande, the National Hurricane Center said.
> At the same time, subtropical storm Alpha was forming on the other side of the Atlantic, some 120 miles off the coast of Portugal.
> The storms were named after letters of the Greek alphabet, after Tropical Storm Wilfred formed earlier Friday, exhausting the list of names predetermined by the World Meteorological Organization for tropical storms.
> The WMO chooses names that are easily recognizable in a region where several languages are spoken, so no names starting with X, Y or Z are chosen.
> In the unusual event that the list is used up, the WMO identifies storms by letters of the Greek alphabet: alpha, beta, gamma, delta... as has been the case this year, which has seen an unusually active hurricane season.

From what I understand, if a storm does enough damage, usually the name is retired from the list. Is this true for Greek letter names if one winds up being particularly nasty? Only 2005 was such a season, & I don't believe any of the Greek letter storms were bad enough to be retired, but I wonder what the official word is on these.
I've lurked a bit but finally decided to make an account for this upcoming situation.
I won't go into detail about the potential devastation Laura might cause if it reaches hurricane strength. What I'll briefly discuss are some other consequences that may arise:
A) Recently, Trump made FEMA funds available for unemployment insurance payments.
B) Aside from Laura, this has the outlook of a record-setting year for the number of named storms and whatnot.
C) FEMA funds would be used to help the cities and towns affected.
D) A + B + C -> This hurricane season could result in hundreds of thousands of people cut-off from their much needed unemployment insurance benefits as FEMA uses its funds to deal with more immediate disasters.
E) The Senate is currently adjourned because they decided to take a recess, so we cannot expect more funding in a reasonable timeframe.
All in all, this has the potential to push even more Americans into poverty. We've had a fortunate couple weeks so far this hurricane season, but I don't expect that to last. Look into r/tropicalweather for more info on that. I would give links but I'm currently on mobile.
tl;dr Bad weather might take away weekly payments for many Americans.
