Something has just happened that I never thought I would see: an Atlantic hurricane season has been so active that the National Hurricane Center has run out of hurricane names for the season. With Hurricane Wilma, the twenty-second named storm of the season, pounding the Yucatan peninsula, Tropical Storm Alpha has formed south of Hispanola.
Why Alpha? Because once the NHC exhausts its typical list for hurricane names (something that has never happened) it starts using Greek letters to designate tropical systems. If another tropical system were to form, it would be Tropical Storm Beta. One beyond that would be Gamma, and so on.
It's been an amazing weather year, and it once again reminds me of how amazing a God I serve. He has made a world that can such unusual and varied weather that is still orderly enough that human beings, who do not create weather, can still predict it.
So, as the crisp, autumn weather settles in here in Kansas, take some time to marvel at the nearly infinite variety that the Lord has put in this world in the form of weather.
