text: Going by pure statistics, the storms that are most likley to be bad are: \n\nAlberto, Florence, Debby, Chris and Isaac.  \n\nA, F, D, I and C storms have the highest frequency of being retired, because they tend to be storms that strike in the middle of the season (Except for A named storms)  "A" named stoms tend to be retired the most because of A-Frequency of storms starting with "A" and B, A named storms tend to strike places that aren't yet prepared for storms.   \n\nOf course, for every Alison, Andrew and Allen, there are such fish spinners (Storms that never affect land) weak tropical storms as last year's Arlene, 2004's Authur, and 2003's Ana.\n\nBut in all reality, we don't know what storms are going to be the most powerful.  All we know is that if you see any weird thunderstorms coming from Africa and you're in Florida or if you see any weird thunderstorms in the Bahamas on satellite, be prepared to run inland.  Those hurricanes, (Respectivley known as "Cape Verde" storms and "Bahama Busters") cause the most damage.
