It became classified as a tropical storm at 24.7W which easily beat the old record set by Anna in 1969 (36.0 W). I have also recently run a few statistics on storms east of 75.0W and 23.5N, which are typically the classical Cape Verde-type storms, or the tropical-only hurricane in Dr. Elsner's classification nomenclature. 2008 has already had 4.25 NSD in this area. The only years with more NSD prior to 1 August in this area are 2005 (9.75 NSD), 1996 (5.75 NSD), 1966 (5.25 NSD), 1969 (4.50 NSD), and 1954 (4.50 NSD). All five of these years were quite active hurricane seasons. Since 1950, only five years have had a hurricane form east of 75.0W and south of 23.5N prior to 1 August. These five years are 1954, 1960, 1961, 1996 and 2005. 2008 represents the sixth season with a formation in this area.
